A slow burner of a film that i really enjoyed. The central premise of ancient custom and folklore is nicely explored and the idea that when a face is created on a clay jug then that person should be sacrificed to an ancient creature is quite Lovecraftian in it's execution.

The film is clearly low budget yet is so small scale you don't really notice. Larry Fessenden, the director of Wendigo and The Last Winter is one of the actors here, but due to the thick atmosphere and ambiance you'd swear he also directed it too. The film boasts strong performances all round giving the whole thing a very believable air which all culminates in an original and interesting horror movie.

Be warned though. If you thought the aforementioned Fessenden films were not to your taste i'd stay clear of this too.
If people don't like his movies I would steer clear of the ps4 game until dawn as he wrote it and also has a role in the game
