Sator
Directed by Jordan Graham
Secluded in a desolate forest home to little more than the decaying remnants of the past, a broken family is further torn apart by a mysterious death. Adam, guided by a pervasive sense of dread, hunts for answers only to learn that they are not alone; an insidious presence by the name of Sator has been observing his family, subtly influencing all of them for years in an attempt to claim them.
The demon Sator attempts to claim a family in this dark, unique gem.
Cast: Aurora Lowe, Gabe Nicholson, June Peterson, Michael Daniel, Rachel Johnson

Not great, slow and not much happens. Interesting story, could have done more with it.
I had pretty high hopes for this film but it did nothing except fall flat. The atmospheric storytelling is visually pretty but bland. The family dynamic is comprehensible but lacks substance to make the topic of this film truly stand out or invoke immersive storytelling. The folk horror aspect was the only reason I kept watching (and hoping for something more compelling to come out of it). The only "scary" parts of this film were the overly loud quick noises which reminded me of cheap haunted house walkthroughs. The story had such promise. In my opinion, if you want an unsettling atmospheric horror similar to this, watch Skinamarink. If you want a folk horror tale that is worth the confusion, watch Starve Acre. This film does nothing for me. I only gave it the extra star because, as I said before, it got the visual aspect of the atmospheric horror down well but nothing more.
FANTASTIC! This was truly scary.
I really loved the ambiance of this movie. You have to really concentrate, close all lights and let yourself be immersed.
has good ideas but they are buried under a bunch of nothing happening
