PROJECT
A group of five friends enters an abandoned town where a presence begins erasing them—from memory, from footage, and from reality itself.
TONE & INFLUENCES
Slow-burn psychological horror with atmospheric dread, unreliable reality, and deep character focus. Think the haunting intimacy of Lake Mungo, the mounting paranoia of It Follows, and the emotional intensity of Hereditary and Saint Maud. Grounded, character-driven horror rather than jump-scare heavy.
