Candlewood

Emma returns to her hometown of Candlewood after her grandmother's death. In the old house, she finds a childhood diary filled with drawings where a dark figure always stands beside her likeness. Locals whisper about the 'Quiet Man' — a creature that takes children, leaving only candles in their windows. When teenagers begin disappearing around town, and wax handprints appear on her walls, Emma realizes the legend is real, and she's next on its list. This 2025 horror-thriller explores the fear of forgotten promises and the monsters we create ourselves.
