Nightsiren (, ) is a 2022 Slovak-Czech feminist psychological horror drama by director Tereza Nvotová. The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival, where it won the Golden Leopard – Filmmakers of the Present award.
== Plot == While running away from her abusive mother, a girl named Šarlota accidentally pushes her sister Tamara off a cliff. Years later, Šarlota, now a young adult, returns to the village, summoned by a letter from the mayor, requesting her to claim her mother's inheritance. Because she ran away as a child and was never found, she is met with distrust and superstition: She and Tamara had been claimed to have been taken by an accused witch, Otyla, a neighbour of their childhood home.
