Coherence (2013) – Dinner, Doubles, and Dimensions

Coherence (2013) Film Review – Sci-Fi Dinner Party Thriller

Film Review: Coherence (2013)

Directed by James Ward Byrkit

Coherence 2013 sci-fi film poster dinner party

In this Coherence film review, we look at how a low-budget dinner party turns into a haunting sci-fi experience. *Coherence (2013)* is a minimalist thriller that proves you don’t need big effects to tell a mind-bending story—just sharp writing, committed performances, and a dash of quantum uncertainty.

Set in one house on one night, a group of friends reunites for dinner. But as a comet passes overhead, strange things begin to occur. Phones crack. Lights flicker. Reality fractures. What begins as casual becomes chaotic. And the scariest part? Everyone has a double.

This indie gem plays with ideas of quantum decoherence and the multiverse in a way that’s accessible and deeply unsettling. The characters scramble to make sense of overlapping realities, facing versions of themselves that force terrifying self-reflection.

James Ward Byrkit’s direction is raw and improvisational, heightening the realism and unpredictability. Every moment of silence, every glance across the dinner table, becomes a portal to fear. This isn't a sci-fi blockbuster—it's a psychological experiment where no one is safe from themselves.

More than a puzzle, *Coherence* is an underrated sci-fi thriller about identity, consequence, and alternate paths. It stands beside films like *Primer* and *The Invitation*, yet carves its own eerie niche.

If you enjoy dinner-party tension, quantum mechanics, or films that leave you asking questions at 2AM, *Coherence* is essential viewing.

Verdict: Watch it with friends—and maybe keep the lights on.

Where to find it: Available on Prime Video and other digital platforms.

Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5 – indie sci-fi that bends your brain)
