Four city kids, craving a supernatural thrill, drive out to a remote valley to perform a ritual they found online, hoping to summon a spirit. But they’ve unknowingly trespassed on sacred ground, a place the tight-knit locals have guarded for generations. As night falls and the forest comes alive with whispers, the group realizes they are not alone—and the townspeople are not the only ones watching. The ritual awakens something ancient and vengeful, and the students must fight to survive both the enraged spirits and the humans sworn to protect them. A slow-burn folk horror that creeps under your skin and stays there.

User Reviews
NightTerror20 – 7/10
“I wasn't expecting much from a low-budget horror, but this one surprised me. The atmosphere is genuinely unsettling, and the local folklore angle adds a unique twist. Some of the acting is a bit rough, but the creeping dread more than makes up for it. Definitely worth a watch for fans of folk horror.”
SlasherSteve – 4/10
“The premise sounded cool, but the pacing was so slow. I kept waiting for something scary to happen, and when it finally did, it was over quickly. The characters make dumb decisions too, which always annoys me. Maybe I'm just desensitized, but I felt let down.”
GhoulGirl_88 – 6/10
“A decent indie effort with a strong sense of place. The creepy rituals and the townspeople's secrets kept me interested, but the ending felt rushed. It's the kind of movie that's better if you're in the mood for something slow and atmospheric. I'd say it's a fair 6/10.”
TerrorVisions – 8/10
“I really appreciated the slow burn and the focus on dread rather than cheap jumpscares. The idea of the townspeople protecting something sacred is chilling, and the final act is genuinely eerie. Some may find it too slow, but for me, it nailed the folk horror vibe. Recommended.”
