Since being added to Netflix<\/a> last week, psychological thriller Nocebo \u2013 which was originally released in UK cinemas last year \u2013 has proven popular with subscribers, even landing a place in the streamer\u2019s top 10.<\/p>\n

The film stars Eva Green and Mark Strong as married couple Christine and Felix, and it follows events after a mysterious Filipino caregiver named Diana (Chai Fonacier) turns up on their doorstep offering some unorthodox cures for the mysterious sickness which has been troubling Christine.<\/p>\n

However, as the film progresses, it soon transpires that Diana\u2019s visit might have another purpose \u2013 one that links to an incident relating to Christine\u2019s career as a fashion designer.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve reached the end of the film and need a little help unpacking the final moments, read on to have the Nocebo ending explained \u2013 and bear in mind there are major spoilers<\/strong> from this point onward.<\/p>

Nocebo ending explained<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Early on in the film, we learn that Christine has fallen ill \u2013 seemingly after she was bitten by a number of ticks \u2013 and has since been struggling to manage her career as a fashion designer, while she has also been neglecting her duties caring for her daughter Bobs.<\/p>\n

One day, help seems to arrive in the shape of Filipino caregiver Diana who suddenly appears at the doorstep armed with a variety of mysterious cures. Although Christine can\u2019t remember hiring her, she assumes this is just another symptom of her ongoing illness.<\/p>\n

Diana moves into the house and her cures seem to have a positive effect on Christine, although Felix is not impressed by her, leading to a great deal of tension between the married couple.<\/p>\n

Eventually, Diana explains the secrets of her healing powers: when she was younger, she encountered a very sick old lady and just before she died, she passed a strange black chick from her mouth into Diana\u2019s.<\/p>\n
