Rauhnacht

During the twelve 'Rauhnächte' (rough nights) between Christmas and Epiphany, a young woman and her friends get more than they bargained for when they decide to explore an old, secluded mountain hut. Locals whisper of ancient rituals and dark spirits that awaken during this period, and as strange events escalate, they realize they may have disturbed something ancient and malevolent.

• Anticipation for its folk horror and atmospheric tension.

• Potential for unique cultural storytelling through the 'Rauhnächte' tradition.
