Ancestral Beasts

In the haunting landscape of rural Canada explores the terrifying idea: what if a severe mental health disorder took on a physical form—a creature lurking in the shadows? After cutting ties with her toxic sister, Elyse retreats to her ancestral home to rebuild her mental health. But her journey toward healing is derailed when a grotesque creature begins to stalk her. It feeds on her emotional turmoil, forcing her to confront the past she tried to escape or lose herself and those she loves.
