The premise

Jacob, a young man armed with a deadly sword, saves Sarah, a teenage girl, from Mathias, a malevolent evil that has begun plaguing a small farmland town while in search of an ancient necklace that had belonged to Sarah's uncle. Jacob sets out to get Sarah home safely, running through streets, fields, churches and underground tunnels, while being pursued by hordes of demonic creatures. Along the way, both come to terms with the demons within themselves - Sarah begins to understand her hatred towards her mother and sister may be unjustified and Jacob discovers the secrets of his past, realizing the only way to truly defeat the demons is to return to the very place his family was murdered.

Horror Vault's take

When a malevolent necromancer descends on a quiet rural town in search of a cursed ancient necklace, teenage Sarah finds herself hunted by relentless hordes of demonic creatures. Her only hope is Jacob, a mysterious young swordsman with demons of his own — both literal and personal. The two race through fields, tunnels, and crumbling churches as the evil closes in, and the true nature of Jacob's past begins to surface. Part dark fantasy, part horror survival chase, Fading of the Cries blends creature-feature mayhem with a surprisingly personal story of guilt and family.
