Synopsis/Details
Samuel, a disillusioned priest, and Melina, his fiercely loyal partner, flee their old lives for the rural quiet of Croovesfield, hoping to rebuild among strangers. But their new home is anything but peaceful. The villagers are bound by a secret pact with a demon named Selmore, sacrificing one of their own each year to ensure the land’s survival. When Samuel and Melina interrupt a midnight ritual and rescue a young woman marked for death, they ignite the wrath of the entire village and draw the demon’s gaze upon themselves. As paranoia, supernatural terror, and old wounds resurface, the couple must confront their faith, their past, and the true cost of defying evil before Croovesfield consumes them too.
