Will, a young potter, has a terrible boss, but a great boyfriend and a great job. Behind the veneer of his happy present is a dark past of violence and mental illness that he is desperate to keep hidden. When his mother comes out of the woodwork after ten years of silence, he begins exhibiting unexplainable symptoms and spirals into an obsession, determined to solve this mystery of his own.
Brace yourselves for Hypochondriac – this is a horror film that wears its metaphors on its sleeve as it tackles a weighty case of childhood trauma. With a gorgeous central performance from Zach Villa, Hypochondriac is an impressive debut from writer/director Addison Heimann.
