2021 · Movie · R · 111 min · ★ 6.6 · 67% critics
In a remote village in the late 1800s, a violent act against a traveling community sparks a curse that spreads fear through the countryside. As nightmares grip the locals and children vanish or turn up dead, suspicion falls on a wild animal—until an outsider suggests something far darker is stalking the nearby woods.

About
If you enjoy gothic, curse-driven monster horror with foggy atmosphere and bursts of bloody violence, this may click; Not for you if you need fast pacing, constant action, or consistently likable characters, similar to Till Death.
Pros: moody period atmosphere; strong creature moments; plenty of gore | Cons: slow pacing; annoying characters; some cheap jump scares
