A Young Woman Finds Terror In The Trailer For Euro-Horror ‘The Antithesis’

A young woman finds terror during her stay in an isolated house in the countryside in the new trailer for The Antithesis, starring Crisula Stafida (Tulpa) and Marina Loi (zombi 3). “An isolated house in the countryside is beset by strange phenomena caused by bizarre temperature surges.
