About this movie

An unseen evil haunts the homestead in this chilling, folkloric tale of madness, paranoia, and otherworldly terror. Lizzy (Caitlin Gerard, Insidious: The Last Key) is a tough, resourceful frontierswoman settling a remote stretch of land on the 19th-century American frontier. Isolated from civilization in a desolate wilderness where the wind never stops howling, she begins to sense a sinister presence that seems to be borne of the land itself, an overwhelming dread that her husband (Ashley Zukerman, Manhattan) dismisses as superstition. When a newlywed couple arrives on a nearby homestead, their presence amplifies Lizzy's fears, setting in motion a shocking chain of events.

Ratings and reviews

Subtle, scary and perfectly performed; complex and moving enough for many satisfying rewatchings.

Original, well directed, acted. The ending leaves room for discussion
