The Passage1986

Horror Vault's take

A filmmaker and his young son are plunged into crisis when a mysterious accident leaves the boy in a coma — and a sinister, grim-reaper-like figure emerges as the unlikely architect of their misfortune. The entity offers the desperate father a dark and peculiar bargain, tangling art, violence, and survival in ways that blur the line between the living world and something far beyond it. Equal parts supernatural fable and emotional ordeal, The Passage uses its fantastical premise to probe how far a parent will go for their child. This French curiosity occupies an unsettling space between allegory and nightmare.
