The Stoning of a Temptress
In a remote desert in dystopian America, a teenage girl is stoned to death by her father and brothers, unleashing a vengeful supernatural force that turns their act of violence into their ultimate reckoning.
Why it matters
A brutal folk horror ritual in a dystopian desert town summons a relentless supernatural reckoning that’s equal parts mythic and merciless.
- A raw, unflinching look at patriarchal violence, tapping into folk horror’s tradition of ancient rites meeting modern tyranny.
- Practical effects-driven stoning scenes recall Bottin’s tactile gore mastery, grounding the supernatural in visceral physicality.
- For fans of slow-burning dread and atmospheric isolation, it’s a desert crucible where silence is as threatening as the curse itself.
- Not for the faint of heart—this one’s a grim meditation on vengeance that wears its bleak worldview unashamedly.
