As Diana employs indigenous rituals, Christine’s suppressed memories resurface, unveiling a tragic incident linked to her fashion line’s overseas production. The film delves into the consequences of exploitation and the supernatural means through which Diana seeks justice for past wrongs. “Nocebo” masterfully blends suspense with social commentary, offering a chilling exploration of the intersections between Western affluence and Third World suffering.
