“Madness. Terror. Murder.”

HorrorMysteryCrime

A frustrated detective deals with the case of several gruesome murders committed by people who have no recollection of what they've done.

VIBE

This is a deeply unsettling, slow-burn psychological horror that burrows under your skin. Its neo-noir aesthetic and pervasive sense of dread create a disorienting experience, exploring the fragility of identity and the insidious nature of influence. Expect a chilling, cerebral journey into the abyss.
