At the breaking point of their dysfunctional marriage, Cass and Gav take a trip through Serbia. After meeting a mysterious local, Saint Peter, who eagerly offers to be their guide, the couple embarks on an impromptu sightseeing expedition that soon takes a series of sinister turns.

Why it matters

A creeping psychological horror that twists a couple’s marital strife into a slow-burning nightmare set against Serbia’s eerie landscapes.

  • Uneasy blend of relationship drama and creeping dread that echoes the tension of films like *The Invitation* and *The Lighthouse*.
  • Saint Peter’s sinister charisma anchors the film, blurring lines between folklore figure and malevolent puppeteer.
  • Atmospheric use of Serbia’s remote locales adds a brooding, almost folkloric texture that elevates the road-trip trope.
  • Best for fans of mood-driven, character-focused horror that trades jump scares for simmering dread.
