Director: Jamie Adams
Two couples show up at a rented countryside mansion only to realize they've double-booked the same house, and the awkward mix-up curdles into something far more unsettling in Pose, the 2025 thriller from director Jamie Adams.
What is Pose about?
What starts as a scheduling headache turns tense fast: neither couple wants to leave, both have nowhere else to go, and an uneasy truce forms as they agree to share the isolated mansion for the weekend. Small frictions build as personalities clash and old resentments within each relationship start surfacing under the strain of forced proximity. Then the house itself starts working against them. Doors that shouldn't open do, rooms feel different at night than they did in daylight, and each couple begins to suspect the other of orchestrating the disturbances, even as the truth turns out to be stranger than either group expects. Adams keeps the setting tight and claustrophobic, using the mansion's isolation to ratchet up suspicion between four strangers who increasingly can't tell who, or what, is behind the strange occurrences unfolding around them.
Cast & crew
James McAvoy leads the cast as one half of the first couple, joined by Lucas Bravo, with Leila Farzad and Almudena Amor forming the second pair caught in the same accidental booking. Aisling Franciosi appears in a supporting role, rounding out the ensemble at the center of the film's escalating tension.
Context & significance
Pose is a compact British-American production released in 2025, running a lean 77 minutes that keeps its four-hander premise tightly focused. Director Jamie Adams builds the film around a single confined location, a familiar setup in the thriller genre used here to intensify the sense of characters trapped with people they don't fully trust.

Pose is available on K-Time with Persian dubbing and Persian subtitles for Farsi-speaking viewers. The film's page can be read by anyone without an account, though watching the film itself requires logging in, and K-Time's full browsing experience, from search to recommendations, is offered in Farsi.
