After a drag race ends in the river, a woman takes a job as a church organist in a new town. The town is empty in the wrong way. So is she.

Screening note

A regional production that accidentally invented the American art-horror film. The organ score alone will follow you home.

HorrorPsychological
“Somewhere between a dream and a vacancy.”

Public-domain cinema. This prototype does not host or stream the film. A production build would resolve playback through a licensed, region-aware provider.
