The premise
Samuel Salomon, a literature professor, has been off work for almost a year after the tragic death of his girlfriend. Samuel has been suffering from a recurring nightmare in which a woman is brutally murdered in a strange ritual. Suddenly, the same woman who appears every night in his dreams is found dead in exactly the same circumstances. Samuel sneaks into the crime scene and there he meets Rachel who has also dreamed about the murder. Together, they will do whatever they can to discover the identity of the mystery woman, entering a terrifying world controlled by the figures who have inspired artists throughout time: the Muses.
Horror Vault's take
A grieving literature professor finds the line between nightmare and waking life dissolving when a woman slaughtered in his recurring dream turns up dead in the real world under identical circumstances. Drawn into an investigation alongside a stranger who shares his visions, he is pulled toward a shadowy realm where immortal beings have quietly shaped human creativity for centuries. The film weaves poetic mythology with ritual horror, asking a dangerous question: what price do the Muses demand from those they choose? Atmospheric and deliberately paced, it lures viewers into a world where inspiration itself becomes a threat.
