The Craving
In the taut psychological thriller The Craving, directed by Arabella Anderson, a seemingly ordinary dinner party spiral...
After a painful divorce, writer John James ( Kevin Costner ) seeks a fresh start for himself and his two children, moving to a secluded rural property in South Carolina. However, their new beginning quickly turns into a nightmare when his teenage daughter, Louisa ( Ivana Baquero ), begins exhibiting increasingly disturbing behavior after exploring an ancient, mysterious burial mound on their land. As Louisa becomes more withdrawn and her actions grow more primal and violent, John desperately searches for answers, uncovering local folklore about a terrifying supernatural entity that has taken an interest in his daughter. Directed by Luiso Berdejo, this chilling horror-thriller masterfully blends psychological dread with creature-feature terror, as John must confront an ancient evil to save his daughter’s soul and his family from a fate worse than death. Noah Taylor co-stars as a professor who provides cryptic clues to the mound’s sinister history, while Samantha Mathis plays John’s concerned ex-wife.
