“Family is everything.”

Horror

A boy and his stepmother fear for their safety after an eerie creature resembling the boy's recently deceased father visits them.

VIBE

This is a slow-burn descent into dread, steeped in melancholic grief and unsettling paranoia. It feels like a chilling folk horror tale, where family trauma meets a primal, shapeshifting terror. The atmosphere is thick with a suffocating sense of the uncanny, making for a deeply disquieting and psychologically intense watch.
