Director: Michael S. Ojeda
Grief curdles into something far stranger in "Dominique", a 2024 horror film built around a wealthy man convinced his dead wife has not left the house at all.
What is Dominique about?
A millionaire whose marriage ended in his wife's suicide begins noticing things that shouldn't be possible: doors that lock themselves, a presence in rooms he's sure were empty, small objects moved just enough to notice. He tells himself it's exhaustion, or guilt, or both. But the disturbances grow bolder and more personal, forcing him to confront exactly how much he was to blame for the marriage that collapsed and the woman who died believing he'd stopped loving her. The film sits in the space between psychological horror and supernatural thriller, never fully confirming whether the haunting is real or a manifestation of a conscience that finally has nowhere left to hide. As the walls of the house seem to close in, so does the truth about what actually happened between him and Dominique.
Cast & crew
Oksana Orlan takes the title role opposite Sebastián Carvajal, with María del Rosario, Maurice Compte, Chase Coleman, Ski Carr, and Jose Conejo Martin filling out the household and the people orbiting it. Michael S. Ojeda directs, working in the slow-burn haunted-house register he's built his career on.
Context & significance
A Colombia and United States co-production, "Dominique" leans into an isolated, opulent setting to heighten the sense that its central character has nowhere to run from what he's done. At 100 minutes, it favors mounting dread over jump-scare pacing, keeping the focus tight on one household and two people whose relationship never really ended. The production uses the scale of the house itself as a storytelling device, turning empty hallways and locked rooms into a map of everything left unresolved between the two of them.

"Dominique" is available on K-Time with both Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles, and the film's page can be browsed and read without logging in. Watching it only requires a free K-Time account, inside an app built around a Farsi-language experience for Persian-speaking audiences.
