When a series of gruesome deaths start plaguing a small mountain village, an old legend about a malevolent creature resurfaces in this latest chiller from dynamic French filmmaking duo Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury (the team that gave us one of the most terrifying films of the last 20 years, Inside).
Part police procedural, part folk horror, part supernatural thriller, the pieces of this puzzle add up to one of the most captivating, compelling, and suspenseful films of 2024.
