HorrorThriller

After making a harrowing escape from war-torn South Sudan, a young refugee couple struggle to adjust to their new life in a small English town that has an unspeakable evil lurking beneath the surface.

VIBE

This film is a profoundly unsettling experience, marrying psychological dread with supernatural terror. It feels like a suffocating weight, a constant hum of anxiety underscored by deep, melancholic grief. The atmosphere is oppressive, making for a haunting slow-burn that lingers long after the credits roll.
