The Heretics
Directed by Chad Archibald
Produced by Black Fawn Films, Breakthrough Entertainment
A dark, paranoia-soaked horror film about demonic transformation and cult persecution, where a girl's abduction becomes a desperate race against supernatural corruption.
A young girl is abducted by a man, who claims that a cult is hunting her. His goal is to protect her until sunrise but while restrained, the young girl falls deathly ill. While her friends and family search for her, the source of her illness becomes more and more apparent. She’s not sick…she’s changing.
