The premise
An old man, fated to collect souls for eternity, seeks atonement after trading his daughter's soul.
Horror Vault's take
Rooted in South African folklore, this atmospheric horror follows an ancient, cursed figure whose eternal burden of collecting souls is entangled with a devastating personal sin. The film draws on myth and moral reckoning to craft a slow-burn tale of guilt that feels both deeply cultural and universally unsettling. With striking visuals and a oppressive sense of dread, it carves out a distinctive space in world folk horror.
