The 2014 film, The Quiet Ones, draws inspiration from purported real-life experiments in parapsychology. While the film presents a fictionalized narrative, it alludes to the concept of psychokinesis and the possibility of manifesting physical phenomena through mental energy. The narrative centers around a university professor and his team of students attempting to create a poltergeist through scientific experimentation on a young woman.
Exploring the blurred lines between science and the supernatural, the film’s premise resonates with a long-standing fascination with unexplained occurrences. This interest stems from a desire to understand the boundaries of human consciousness and the potential for untapped abilities. Such narratives also provide a platform to examine the ethical implications of scientific exploration, particularly when venturing into uncharted territories of the human mind.
