• The opening scene of the vampire being buried headfirst draws from Irish folklore, where the vampire Abhartach was buried this way to prevent him from rising again. 
• The Dearg Due, a legendary Irish vampire who rose from the grave seeking revenge after a tragic marriage, inspired the film’s creature alongside Dracula. 
• The creepy forest was actually a Christmas tree farm, while scenes of mysterious black liquid bubbling from the ground were filmed inside an unfinished office building. 

Still struggling with a devastating family tragedy, Orla has withdrawn from the world, abandoning her once promising social media career and struggling to move forward. Concerned about her wellbeing, her friends arrange a weekend retreat at a secluded cabin, hoping a change of scenery might help her rediscover herself.

Her best friend Nessa, a beauty influencer obsessed with maintaining her glamorous online image, claims the trip is intended for filming promotional content. Joining them are Nessa's supportive boyfriend Austin, her devoted assistant Sean and Orla's protective boyfriend Lorcan.

Unfortunately, their supposedly peaceful retreat takes a terrifying turn when the group ventures into the surrounding forest.

While exploring, they stumble upon an ancient ritual site. Things become increasingly disturbing when Orla accidentally pricks her finger on a mysterious wreath and experiences horrifying visions. Unknown to everyone, her blood awakens something that should have remained buried.

Her drops of blood has awaken the Dearg Due, a legendary Irish vampire with a terrifying appetite for more than just blood.

This cunning creature can manipulate minds, exploit insecurities and turn friends against one another. As disturbing hallucinations and violent encounters begin haunting the cabin, the group's already fragile relationships start falling apart.

And the vampire has a particular interest in Orla.

Sensing her overwhelming grief and emotional vulnerability, the Dearg Due sees her as the perfect candidate for its next host. Worse still, the creature possesses an irresistible temptation that could exploit Orla's deepest desire to reunite with those she has lost.

Can Orla resist the darkness or will her grief make her the vampire’s next victim?

MY REVIEW

What I Like:  

• A fresh and unique Vampire mythology.   

What I Don't Like:

• I would say flimsy script and plot?
• Explaining the myth a bit more would help the movie, I think. 

Will I Watch It Again: No, thank you. 

Overall: 2.0/ 5.0

The pictures are taken from multiple sources on the Internet. Thank you.
