The premise
A murderous, flesh-eating undead young girl haunting the remote stretch of woods where she was murdered decades earlier, discovers a kidnapped and abused boy hiding in the trunk of one of her victim’s cars. Her decision to let the boy live throws her aggressively solitary existence into upheaval, and ultimately forces her to re-examine just how much of her humanity her murderer was able to destroy.
Horror Vault's take
Deep in a remote forest, a flesh-eating undead girl has spent decades as a solitary predator — until an encounter with a badly abused boy forces her to make a choice that will change everything. What follows is an unexpectedly intimate horror drama that wrestles with what it means to hold onto your humanity after the worst imaginable things have been done to you. Director Justin P. Lange crafts a bruising, unconventional genre piece that pairs genuine dread with surprising emotional depth. This one lingers long after the credits roll.
