When gentrifiers suddenly begin dying mysteriously, a Gullah Geechee handywoman who recently lost her home, must decide whether to use her ancestral knowledge to save them or leave the newcomers to their fate.

Haint

Set in a crumbling seaside hotel, MISPER follows Leonard (Samuel Blenkin, Alien: Earth), who begins to quietly unravel after his colleague Elle (Emily Carey, House of the Dragon) vanishes. "Part comedy, part psychological thriller, and part unrequited love story, Misper appeared in our submissions and, aesthetically and emotionally, made a deep impression on us. We're thrilled to host the US premiere of this beautiful and resonant film, the debut feature from up-and-coming UK director Harry Sherriff and writer/producer Laurence Tratalos." - MdFF programming team
