“There are worse things than dying.”

HorrorThrillerWestern

Towards the end of the Civil War, a group of Confederate soldiers hole up on an abandoned plantation after robbing a bank, and find themselves at the mercy of supernatural forces.

VIBE

A grim, sun-baked descent into madness. This film feels like a fever dream, where desperation and greed unleash ancient evils in the desolate American South. It's a slow, suffocating crawl towards inevitable, bloody doom.
