Shaman

Shaman (2025) is a chilling horror film that delves into spiritual conflict, cultural clash, and primal terror. Directed by Antonio Negret, this atmospheric thriller follows a devoted missionary who travels with her young son to a remote Indigenous community in the highlands of Ecuador. Nestled near a dormant volcano, the village is steeped in ancient traditions and guarded by beliefs far older than Christianity.

As the missionary attempts to convert the locals, she finds herself increasingly isolated and unnerved by the strange rituals and whispers of an ancient force that sleeps beneath the mountain. Her world is torn apart when her son begins exhibiting terrifying signs of demonic possession. Desperate to save him, she is forced to confront a horrifying truth: the dark power threatening her family predates her faith — and may demand a sacrifice far greater than she imagined.
