The Evaluation

2026 · 13 min

A tight, claustrophobic two-hander that slowly turns the screws until the room itself feels unsafe.

Overview: A psychiatrist evaluates a prisoner who claims he is possessed by an ancient evil. When the entity exposes the doctor's deepest weakness, the line between doctor and patient begins to disappear.
How it feels: Tense, eerie, dark and bleak. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Obsession, guilt, identity, madness
Content: Mild violence, gore and language. No sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
