Seeking escape, she joins friends on a retreat deep in the Russian wilderness, where a shaman promises to help them confront their deepest fears.

User Reviews
MidnightScream – 7/10
“The atmosphere is thick with dread, and the use of the Russian wilderness is brilliantly unsettling. It's not the jump scares that get you; it's the slow burn of psychological torment. The lead actress gives a raw, gripping performance that stays with you.”
GoreHound84 – 6/10
“Some genuinely creepy moments and a great concept, but it loses a bit of steam in the middle. The shaman scenes are effective, but I wish they'd leaned harder into the ritualistic horror. Still, worth a watch for fans of folk horror.”
TerrorNerd – 8/10
“I loved how this film tapped into real psychological unease. The isolation and the constant feeling of being watched made my skin crawl. It's a slow burn, but the payoff is a mind-bending finale that left me thinking for days.”
SkepticB – 5/10
“I appreciate what it was trying to do, but the pacing was too uneven for me. The scares were more psychological than visceral, and I found it a bit pretentious. If you're in the mood for something artful, maybe check it out, but I wasn't fully engaged.”
