Secluded from the world, a single mother of three must defend what's left of her family from a cold-blooded killer, at all costs.

Why it matters

A stripped-down folk horror siege that channels primal maternal terror through a rural lens.

  • Rooted in folklore and isolation, the film taps into ancient family survival myths with a modern grit.
  • The mother’s fierce protective instincts drive a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere — no cheap jump scares, just mounting dread.
  • Practical effects and raw performances ground the horror in tangible stakes, perfect for fans of regional indie horrors.
  • Not for those craving high-concept twists, but a solid pick if you appreciate horror’s ability to mine family and community anxieties.
