What you can't see won't hurt you...it'll kill you!

Horror

Strange things begin to occur as a tiny California coastal town prepares to commemorate its centenary. Inanimate objects spring eerily to life; Rev. Malone stumbles upon a dark secret about the town's founding; radio announcer Stevie witnesses a mystical fire; and hitchhiker Elizabeth discovers the mutilated corpse of a fisherman. Then a mysterious iridescent fog descends upon the village, and more people start to die.

VIBE

A pervasive sense of unease settles in as a spectral, iridescent fog creeps ashore, bringing with it a chilling, vengeful presence. This atmospheric slow-burn builds palpable dread, wrapping you in a cold, unsettling embrace of supernatural retribution and long-buried secrets from the sea.
