FirstBorn (aka First Born/ Thea)
Synopsis
Little Thea's arrival brings with it terrifying entities that threaten her parents Charlie and James' newly formed family. Panic-stricken they turn to Elizabeth, an occult practitioner of great power, who teaches Thea to control rather than be afraid of the dark forces around her. But Charlie sees her daughter is changing; Thea's newfound confidence unleashes something far more malevolent and terrifying than they have ever encountered.
An evocative horror story that takes as its inspiration from the seminal horror films of the 1970s. A chilling insight into the sacrifices we make when we bring a new life into this world.
