From the award-winning team behind ALONE WITH YOU,  a new dimension in shock. In her remote country home, a religious zealot takes a young filmmaker captive, claiming her sadistic rituals will change him into a god. Dive into the origins of the genre’s greatest theme - good versus evil - as the little known Manichaeism, a dualistic religion based on the primal conflict between light and darkness, gets the spotlight in a love letter to folk horror and its many brilliant offerings. A glorious story of deep trauma and deep hope in a church lined with seats facing a silver screen.
