The Veil
The dead come back
Directed by Phil Joanou
Produced by Blumhouse Productions, Universal Pictures
A dark supernatural horror film centered on a traumatic cult mass suicide, blending paranoia and spiritual dread with jump scares and buried psychological trauma.
30 years ago, when members of a religious cult known as Heaven's Veil take their own lives. The truth behind what really happened remains buried deep in the memory of the sole survivor, a five-year-old girl. Now as an adult she returns to the compound with a documentary crew. They soon discover something that is far more terrifying than anything they could have imagined.
