The premise

A vengeful spirit has taken the form of the Tooth Fairy to exact vengeance on the town that lynched her 150 years earlier. Her only opposition is the only child, now grown up, who has survived her before.

Horror Vault's take

In the coastal town of Darkness Falls, a dark legend surrounding a wrongfully executed woman has haunted locals for generations — but for one survivor, the nightmare never truly ended. Now an adult, he's drawn back to confront a malevolent spirit that has stalked him since childhood. The creature is relentless, supernatural, and far more dangerous than any ghost story should be. Staying in the light may be the only thing standing between the townspeople and a centuries-old wrath.
