Anna returns to her ancestral village after her grandmother's death to settle the estate. In the old house, she discovers strange ritual objects and a diary detailing a family curse. The locals whisper about the Black Goat — an ancient spirit demanding sacrifices every generation. At night, Anna hears heavy footsteps in the attic and bleating from the forest. Her dreams fill with images of bloody rituals and a figure with a goat's head. Gradually she realizes the curse isn't myth but real, and she's destined to be the next offering. This 2026 psychological horror explores generational trauma through the lens of Slavic folklore.

🔍 Search on JustWatch →The director employs minimalist cinematography — long static shots create a sense of observation, while sharp cuts mimic startled reactions. Sound design builds from natural noises that gradually distort into threatening drones.
Those who appreciate slow-burn folk horror will find themselves immersed in rural gothic atmosphere where every floorboard creak signals impending dread. What lingers is a chill down the spine and inexplicable unease. — MovieFinder Editorial
