Mikey, a young boy plagued by intense night terrors, begins to see his worst nightmares come to life when his mother, Abigail, grows increasingly erratic and starts exhibiting signs of demonic possession. What begins as personal suffering soon spirals into a multigenerational curse. The malignant force doesn’t stop with Abigail and Mikey — its shadow stretches across time, threatening to consume lives across generations. Haunted by trauma, guilt, and supernatural horror, Mikey must confront an evil that refuses to stay buried. horrormovielists.com+4imdb.com+4starburstmagazine.com+4

The film also explores abuse, family secrets, and the legacy of trauma, using non-linear storytelling and shifting perspectives (including a talk-show style segment) to deepen the unease. horrormovielists.com+3starburstmagazine.com+3CineDump+3
