The premise
After the death of her father, a young woman travels to a remote convent on an island in the Black Sea to find out why her father funded it for years.
Horror Vault's take
A grieving young woman journeys to a storm-battered island convent in the Black Sea, driven by questions about her late father's decades-long financial devotion to the remote sisterhood. What she uncovers beneath the surface of ritual and stone goes far beyond ordinary faith. Shot in Ukraine and Italy, this slow-burn Lovecraftian nightmare drowns its heroine — and the viewer — in suffocating atmosphere and creeping dread. The answers she seeks may be far more dangerous than the mystery itself.
