Synopsis/Details

In the remote Adirondacks, four amateur treasure hunters uncover a centuries-old relic tied to a brutal colonial massacre. But what they dig up isn't just buried history — it's a cursed artifact that awakens Kwah-Nooh-Tah, a vengeful Native war chief, and his undead warriors. As night falls, the group finds themselves under siege by supernatural forces that can’t be reasoned with — only held at bay by sacred redbud trees. With no cell signal, no way out, and the dead closing in, their only hope lies in unraveling the history they've disturbed before dawn.

Blending survival horror, Native mythology, and chilling ghost lore, this is The Ritual meets The Witch — a grounded, high-stakes supernatural thriller where the past doesn’t stay dead… and some spirits don’t forgive.

All Accolades & Coverage

Script Coverage: RECOMMEND (screenplay and writer) by Screenplay Staffing. "It keeps the momentum moving, raises the stakes at every turn which has a real potential to keep the viewer engaged throughout... the tension and the suspense builds evenly and pushes the thrills and chills. The myriad of characters, the foreboding world, and the ‘wicked things’ work well together to deliver a creepy story with ominous undertones. Given that it is released during a prime slot not in conjunction with a large budget, tent pole franchise film, a film such as this is primed to do well."
