A spree of grisly murders is perpetrated in Frankfurt by a group of Satan worshippers. A lonely schoolteacher almost runs over an elderly man and takes him in, unbeknown to her the man has plans for her – plans that involve a permanent future with the Satanic cult.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling and atmospheric descent into satanic dread. This film feels like a fever dream, blending surreal imagery with visceral body horror. It's a slow, creeping unease that burrows under your skin, leaving you with a sense of profound unease.
