The premise
A student travels with her boyfriend to Chiloé, remote Patagonia island in southern Chile, to investigate the link that exists between the high number of sexual related crimes and the myths 'n' legends that surround this mysterious place.
Horror Vault's take
A young woman and her boyfriend venture to the remote Chilean island of Chiloé to document a disturbing pattern linking local myths and legends to an unusually high rate of sexual crimes. As they dig deeper into the island's folklore, the line between ancient superstition and present danger begins to blur. The island's isolated, fog-laden landscape becomes a character in itself, amplifying a creeping sense that some forces are better left undisturbed.
