“A genre film entrenched in the ordinary everyday horrors in our society, Good Madam explores the generational trauma inherent to South African culture, sprawling from the past to the present day, with chilling delivery and haunting results.”
Watch the trailer of the movie here.
Quite eerie, the trailer offers a glimpse of the kind of horror that the movie brings to viewers. Leaning more towards psychological horror, the movie is fraught with jump scares as secrets come undone. The sinister presence in the modular home of the "Madam" will slowly reveal itself to the dwellers, especially Tsidi.
