Newlyweds Mel and Ikenna thought they’d found their refuge from the chaos of city life. After inheriting a remote family home nestled deep in the Adirondack Mountains, the couple was eager to trade in the urban hustle for a quieter, more intimate existence. But solitude quickly takes a dark turn when what should have been an idyllic escape becomes an all-consuming nightmare.
The pair’s initial quest for peace gets derailed when they’re joined by friends Taylor and Arjun, and soon the dream of tranquility shatters. As the group settles into the secluded house, they find themselves stalked by something far more menacing than the isolation they sought. One by one, they’re hunted by a sinister force lurking in the woods, dragging them into a disturbing reality where the line between supernatural terror and psychological unravelling begins to blur.
At the heart of Come Home, Mel and Ikenna are forced to confront not just a mysterious presence, but their own fractured minds. The once-quiet forest surrounding them grows suffocating, steeped in a history that echoes with eerie, time-worn secrets. With each passing day, they teeter on the edge of paranoia, unable to decipher if the forest’s malevolent energy is fueled by vengeful spirits or their own deteriorating sanity. The film dives into themes of loneliness, isolation, and the sinister power that a place can hold over those who dare to dwell within it.
Directed with a visually arresting arthouse aesthetic, Come Home manages to balance slow-burn tension with genuinely chilling horror, elevating it beyond typical genre fare. Winner of the prestigious Golden Ring for Best Film at the Ravenna Nightmare Film Fest, the film is both a ghost story and an exploration of the human psyche under pressure.
With a release set for October 1st on Amazon and major VOD platforms, Come Home promises to leave viewers questioning not just the ghosts on screen, but the specters that lurk within the isolated corners of their own minds. If you’re looking for a horror experience that marries eerie atmosphere with an unsettling psychological edge, this is one film you won’t want to miss.
