Horror Vault's take

Deep in the volcanic highlands of Ecuador, a Christian missionary finds her belief system shaken to its core when her young son falls under the grip of something ancient and deeply rooted in the land she has come to convert. What begins as a spiritual mission becomes a desperate fight against forces that predate her religion entirely. The film draws tension from the collision between Western faith and Indigenous spiritual tradition, asking whose sacred knowledge holds power in the darkness. This is slow-burn supernatural horror that earns its dread through atmosphere and cultural conflict rather than cheap scares.
