Synopsis

In the picturesque Welsh countryside, Mabli journeys to meet her boyfriend Meirion's family. However, her idyllic stay takes a chilling turn when she has a series of awkward encounters with the family, from baking cakes with Mrs. Jones, picking flowers in the garden with Gwen, and a personal tour of Mr Jones's workshop. As the day unfolds, she is increasingly subjected to intense value lessons that starkly clash with her modern beliefs, forcing her to confront a world very distant from her own.
Mabli is led deeper into the farm's history, where the importance of preserving the family bloodline becomes increasingly evident. But when night falls and Meirion's absence becomes unnerving, Mabli discovers the sinister truth behind the family's customs, and the real purpose of her visit.
This Suspenseful Horror sees a clash between modernity and tradition, taking 'meeting the parents' to a whole new, terrifying level.
