Realm of Shadows (2024) Plot: This supernatural horror anthology is centered around the legend of the "Dagger of Destiny"—the ancient blade that was said to have pierced the side of Jesus Christ. The film is woven together by a "wraparound" story featuring a coven of ambitious witches who use an Ouija board to conjure seven different tales of human depravity, obsession, and the occult. These segments include a man using a dark potion to win over a woman, a college professor blackmailed by a student with a sinister secret, and a young dancer who pays a horrific price for her success. The anthology culminates in an unholy showdown between the coven and a group of priests, led by Father Dudley, who are desperate to reclaim the holy relic before the world falls into darkness.

However, what was intended to be a sanctuary quickly turns into a nightmare. Sister Mary begins to experience terrifying supernatural phenomena and is tormented by malevolent spirits that haunt the halls of the convent.

Its Name Was Mormo (2024) Plot: Presented as a series of police evidence files and home recordings, the story follows Mark and Diana, a young couple who move into a mansion in a remote Greek village with their daughter, Mia. During a stroll through nearby ruins, Mark discovers a mysterious locked box and brings it home, inadvertently triggering a series of terrifying paranormal events. As a malevolent entity from Greek mythology begins to target each family member, their lives unravel into a claustrophobic nightmare. The film is a "found footage" horror that features the director's real-life family to enhance its sense of raw, unscripted authenticity.
