The premise
Religious psychopath Sawney stalks Scotland abducting unholy souls for his communion of sacrifices. With his insane family of inbred killers, Sawney tortures and eats their victims saving the best morsels for a chained-up figure in their cavernous Highlands lair. As the Missing Persons list rises investigative crime journalist Hamish MacDonald writes sensational and damming headlines against the police, due to their incompetence in handling the case. After his fiancée is kidnapped by the cannibal clan Hamish investigates the heinous crimes on his own with disastrous results. For there’s something he doesn’t know about the case that’s crucial to solving it…
Horror Vault's take
Deep in the Scottish Highlands, a deranged self-styled preacher leads his feral, inbred clan on a bloody campaign of abduction, torture, and cannibalism — offering their victims as grotesque sacrifices to a shadowy purpose. When a tenacious crime journalist's personal life collides with the case he's been sensationally covering, he abandons the safety of the press room and ventures into the darkness himself. Loosely riffing on the legend of Sawney Bean, Scotland's most infamous folk monster, this uncompromising splatter film wallows in brutality while keeping a grim mystery simmering beneath the carnage. Prepare for a punishing ride through caves, killers, and secrets that cut closer to home than the hero expects.
