The premise
Alpha, a troubled 13-year-old lives with her single mom. Their world collapses the day she returns from school with a tattoo on her arm.
Horror Vault's take
When a rebellious 13-year-old comes home bearing an unexplained mark on her skin, the fragile world she shares with her mother begins to unravel in ways neither of them could have anticipated. Set against a backdrop of pandemic-level dread, the film transforms a deeply personal coming-of-age story into something far more sinister. What starts as a domestic drama quietly escalates into a harrowing exploration of what a parent will face — and what a young body might become — when an unknown force takes hold.
