Long before the haunting of Katie and Kristi, the terrifying origins of the family curse are unearthed in this chilling prequel. In 1988, young sisters Katie and Kristi live a seemingly normal life with their mother Julie and her boyfriend Dennis. When strange occurrences begin to disrupt their home, Dennis, a wedding videographer played by Christopher Nicholas Smith, sets up cameras to capture the unexplained events. What starts as playful curiosity soon descends into sheer terror as the recordings reveal a sinister, invisible presence that is particularly interested in the two girls, especially Kristi and her mysterious imaginary friend. As the phenomena intensify, the family is forced to confront a dark secret that has latched onto their bloodline, revealing why the sisters' childhood was far from ordinary. Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman craft a masterclass in suburban dread, using the found-footage format to deliver relentless tension and deeply unsettling scares that burrow into the quiet moments of night.
