One Eyed Girl is a 2015 Australian psychological thriller film directed by Nick Remy Matthews and starring Mark Leonard Winter, Tilda Cobham-Hervey, and Steve Le Marquand.

Travis is disgusted when the group's leader, Father Jay, a military veteran and former drug addict, forces a young member, Marcus, to confront difficult personal issues in public.

Travis explains to Grace that he abuses prescription drugs and alcohol to avoid feeling anything, and she reveals her parents abandoned her, leaving her with no family but Father Jay.

A flashback to the day of her suicide reveals that Rachel called him on the phone before she jumped, but Travis did not attempt to save her by running upstairs.

The initial concept for the story did not involve a cult; instead, director and co-writer Matthews sought to explore alternative ways of thinking and living.

The story evolved to include a cult when Matthews and co-writer Craig Behenna added a journey for Travis to find redemption and wisdom.

Father Jay's philosophy is intentionally kept ambiguous, though they wrote a detailed biography for the character to aid Le Marquand's acting.

[2] Though he faulted the pacing, Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "This engrossing, darkly tinged drama is an auspicious debut.

"[8] Jake Wilson of The Sydney Morning Herald rated it 2/5 stars and criticised what he said was the film's tendency to be declarative and heavy-handed.

Wilson concluded, "Despite its flaws, this Australian feature exposing the dark side of a cult announces director Nick Matthews as a filmmaker of some promise.

"[9] Charles Maddison of The Independent Weekly called it "an absorbing psychological thriller" that deserves support from Australian audiences.
