Synopsis
The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016) is a supernatural mystery thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexandre Aja. A nine-year-old boy with a strange history of accidents falls from a cliff and slips into a coma.
Neuropsychologist Allan Pasquale (Jamie Dornan) takes the case and tries to reach Louis inside his unconscious mind. What really happened at that seaside picnic? The father looks guilty. But Pasquale keeps drifting closer to the boy's mother, Natalie (Sarah Gadon), and the line between testimony and hallucination starts to dissolve. Aaron Paul and Oliver Platt round out a cast of people who all seem to be hiding a piece of the truth.
Adapted from Liz Jensen's novel, the film trades Aja's usual brutal horror for a coiled psychological puzzle with a fairy-tale undertow. It rewards viewers who like an ending that rewrites everything before it. Stream The 9th Life of Louis Drax (2016) online on iFILM.
