Repulsion is a 1965 psychological horror film directed by Roman Polanski, starring Catherine Deneuve. In a claustrophobic London flat, a shy, introverted young woman named Carol is left alone when her sister travels away. As her grip on reality frays, repressed sexuality, tremors, and vivid hallucinations spill into the apartment, turning everyday spaces into traps. Polanski's spare visuals, eerie sound design, and Deneuve's haunting performance fuse to create a relentless, unsettling study of fear.
