Overview

Warlock Moon sets its eerie stage with a college student who, after a chance encounter with a reporter, finds herself at a desolate countryside spa. The trip quickly turns unsettling as she glimpses what appear to be ghosts and meets a peculiar old woman residing in the shuttered resort. Her curiosity draws her back a second time, only for her to fall prey to a far more sinister reality involving cannibals and witchcraft. With its moody atmosphere and blend of folk horror and exploitation elements, the film becomes a chilling exploration of trust, isolation, and the macabre lurking in forgotten places.
