On a desolate 1800s Midwest landscape, a constant wind howls and frontierswoman Lizzy begins to sense an evil presence coming from the earth. Her concerns escalate when another couple moves onto a nearby farm and the only neighbors within hundreds of miles add to the landscape of terror. This quietly disturbing female-centric horror film explores the terror of motherhood, relationships, neighbors, and the earth itself.

 

"This pioneer chiller shines a gender-specific spotlight on the ways isolation and hardship can ravage a woman's mind."
- The New York Times
 
"This is indie horror at its best."
- San Francisco Chronicle
 
"If you're thinking "Repulsion by John Ford," you're more on the right track than you could possibly know."
- Rolling Stone
