The premise
Cristina, a journalist of Mexican origin, travels to her ancestral home in Veracruz to investigate a story of sorcery and healing. There, she is kidnapped by a group of locals who claim she's the devil incarnated.
Horror Vault's take
A journalist of Mexican descent ventures to Veracruz to report on local sorcery, only to find herself held captive by villagers who are utterly convinced she carries something sinister within her. Caught between her modern skepticism and the deeply rooted traditions of her ancestors, Cristina must confront forces — internal and external — she never anticipated. Steeped in Mexican folklore and shamanic ritual, the film builds a slow, suffocating dread that feels as ancient as the land itself.
