Director's Statement:
I've always been fascinated by the idea that objects—trinkets, possessions, forgotten relics, can act as vessels between worlds. That something as innocent as a keepsake might harbor a presence, a memory, or an energy so strong it can bridge the gap between the mundane and the malevolent. I wanted to explore what happens when someone unknowingly opens that door. Through meticulous recreations of brutal crime scenes, becomes an unintentional conduit for something much darker. These crime scenes weren’t just remnants of violence, they were rituals, each leaving behind a symbolic key used by a cult to summon something evil.

This is my invitation for the audience to quickly witness the unraveling, the moment when obsession crosses into invocation, and the line between craft and curse disappears.
