About the film:
World Premiere, 2024 Sundance Film Festival.
When a group of teens takes a locket from a collapsed fire tower in the woods, they unwittingly resurrect the rotting corpse of Johnny, a vengeful spirit spurred on by a horrific 60-year old crime. The undead killer soon embarks on a bloody rampage to retrieve the stolen locket, methodically slaughtering anyone who gets in his way.
“A fascinating arthouse horror experiment that plays more like a minimalist slice-of-life feature with a grim, gory twist.”
—Meagan Navarro, Bloody Disgusting
