Moving to the village of his mother’s youth, art student Jacob discovers his grandad’s old video camera shows one hour into the past. In Elmbrook, a place steeped in strange folklore and whispered legends, the community believe their village is protected by a puma that watches over the “good.” But when one of the good locals mysteriously vanishes, Jacob and his friends, armed with the video camera, uncover clues that pull them deeper into Elmbrook’s bizarre secrets. Soon the search for answers spirals into a dangerous mystery as they uncover a vengeful serial killer with a connection to the past.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A supernatural mystery that uses time-distortion and local legend as tools to slowly pull you into a community's dark underbelly. It's tense rather than jump-scare heavy, building dread through the gradual uncovering of interconnected secrets.
