Play Video

A chill-filled festival of horror!

In 17th-century England, a mysterious skull unearthed by local villagers unleashes a dark evil that slowly corrupts the community, especially the youth. As sinister forces possess and transform the children, paranoia and violence spiral out of control. Blending folk horror with supernatural dread, the film explores themes of paganism, innocence lost, and mass hysteria.
