A chilling Appalachian folk horror unfolds as a man recovering from a plane crash finds himself increasingly ensnared by the unsettling hospitality of the isolated couple tending to his wounds. Beyond typical survival horror, the film cultivates a deeply unsettling atmosphere, drawing on ancient remedies and local folklore to suggest a sinister undercurrent to their care. The narrative isn't about escaping physical captivity, but a mounting psychological dread stemming from the realization that his rescuers are part of a deeply ingrained, ritualistic community where healing and harm are inextricably linked. A growing suspicion of voodoo-adjacent practices and an unspoken, insidious faith creates a claustrophobic tension, amplified by the stark beauty and isolating quality of the rural setting, leaning into a primal fear of losing oneself in the unfamiliar darkness of tradition.
