Get ready for a chilling new horror flick! Well Go USA, the fantastic team behind films like Train to Busan, will soon unleash Shaman. This movie appears to be a terrifying clash where faith and ancient folklore collide in a story of brutal possession.

 

A Son Possessed, a Village in Peril

 

The film begins with a missionary family traveling to rural Ecuador, seeking to convert the local indigenous population. Sounds like a noble goal, right? Well, their mission takes a terrifying turn when their son sneaks into a forbidden local cave. He comes back, but he’s not alone – he’s brought a demonic spirit with him!

Candice (Sarah Canning), the distraught mother, is convinced that a traditional Catholic exorcism will free her boy from this evil. But the local shamans know better. They understand that this malevolent spirit is way older and more potent than her religion, and it must be dealt with according to their ancient ways. If not, this terrifying demon threatens to consume everyone!

 

Meet the Cast

 

Shaman stars some familiar faces from the small screen and beyond, including Sarah Canning (The Vampire Diaries, Nancy Drew), Daniel Gillies (The Originals, Virgin River), Jett Klyne (Doctor Sleep, WandaVision)

 

Coming This August!

 

Prepare for a tense, culture-clashing battle against an ancient evil. Will modern faith or old traditions be enough to defeat the terrifying force unleashed in Shaman? Find out on August 8th when this supernatural horror opens in select theaters and arrives on digital platforms!
