FILM—01 Folk horror

SixteenDays

She disappeared for sixteen days. Whatever happened during them came home too.

Eighteen-year-old Maria disappears without explanation. Sixteen days later, she returns changed.

As those closest to her search for answers, they uncover a pattern of disappearances stretching back decades: each victim vanishes for sixteen days, each returns close to where they were last seen, and each comes home different.

Now the pattern has begun again.

About the project

Sixteen Days is a folk horror feature-film treatment about family, identity and the fear that someone you love can come home looking exactly the same while no longer being the person who left.

Current status

The treatment is currently being developed and written by Jon Hargreaves.
