🎬 Hallowed Ground

Alice (Sherri Eakin) and Vera (Lindsay Anne Williams) are a married lesbian couple attempting to rebuild their strained relationship after a period of infidelity and personal hardship. Seeking quiet isolation to reconcile, they travel to a secluded vacation home deep in the rural American South.

Trapped on cursed ground with a bloody past involving Native American cult rituals and brutal territorial feuds, Alice and Vera must put aside their marital grievances and fight together to survive a terrifying night against hostile local cultists.
