The premise

An alcoholic American couple travel to Ireland with their son so he can meet his grandmother but they walk in on their crazed uncle who is in the midst of reviving a centuries-old Druid witch.

Horror Vault's take

When a troubled American couple takes their young son to rural Ireland to visit aging relatives, they stumble into something far older and far more dangerous than family drama. A reclusive uncle has become obsessed with a mummified Druid witch unearthed on the estate — and his efforts to restore her threaten everyone under the ancestral roof. Rooted in Celtic myth and Gothic atmosphere, the film weaves personal demons with supernatural ones as the past refuses to stay buried.
