Fréwaka
Directed by Aislinn Clarke
Produced by DoubleBand Films, Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland
A haunting folk-horror study of trauma and isolation, where Irish supernatural dread and psychological unraveling intertwine in a remote, claustrophobic setting.
Care worker Shoo, who is haunted by a personal tragedy, is sent to a remote village to care for an agoraphobic woman, who fears both her neighbours and the Na Sídhe – sinister folkloric entities she believes abducted her decades before.
