Official Synopsis:
Newlyweds Mel and Ikenna abandon their bustling city life after inheriting a secluded family home in the Adirondack Mountains. They seek solace in its isolation but quickly find their dream of tranquility turning into a nightmare when they are joined by friends Taylor and Arjun, only to encounter a sinister force that preys upon them one by one. Mel and Ikenna must confront an eerie presence that seems to entrap them in the forest's haunting past. Struggling with their growing paranoia and the forest’s chilling echoes of time, they must unravel whether they are haunted by vengeful spirits or simply unraveling from the strain of isolation. Winner of the Golden Ring for Best Film at the Ravenna Nightmare Film Fest, "Come Home" is a meditative exploration of loneliness and the relentless power of place.
