Descendent2025
Directed by Peter Cilella
The premise
After a traumatic brain injury triggers terrifying visions of extraterrestrials and a newfound talent for drawing, a father-to-be begins to question his reality and becomes obsessed with the need to protect his family from an unseen threat.
Horror Vault's take
When a father-to-be survives a traumatic brain injury, he emerges changed — haunted by visions of extraterrestrial figures and a compulsive new drive to draw what he sees. As the line between delusion and genuine danger blurs, his desperation to shield his growing family pulls him deeper into obsession. Equal parts psychological unraveling and cosmic unease, Descendent asks just how far a man will go when he can't trust his own mind.
