In Depression-era West Virginia, a serial-killing preacher hunts two young children who know the whereabouts of a stash of money.
Expressionist shadows and distorted perspectives turn this Depression-era thriller into a haunting, storybook nightmare. A predatory preacher with religious slogans tattooed on his knuckles stalks two children through a landscape of folk-horror dread.
