See the films the platforms disagree about most →In a remote Alaska town where many residents have reported strange phenomena, a psychologist begins conducting therapy sessions. During hypnosis, her patients all describe eerily similar encounters with alien beings. Her investigation into these events becomes increasingly terrifying as she captures unsettling evidence on camera, suggesting a sinister and otherworldly presence is behind the town's mysteries.
