I Am Zozo

A storm‑ridden night on a secluded island cabin sets the stage for a tense, atmospheric horror that thrives on curiosity turned dread. A group of old friends—Tess, Aiden, Nick, Dean and Mel—have gathered to celebrate an off‑season Halloween, trading jokes, stories and the occasional ritualistic pastime to fill the empty rooms. The remote location, the creaking wood, and the flickering firelight create a mood that feels both intimate and unnervingly isolated, as if the surrounding darkness is waiting for something to be awakened.

The evening takes a unsettling turn when the friends decide to experiment with a Ouija board, an antique game that promises contact with the unknown. Their light‑hearted teasing soon gives way to a palpable sense of unease, as the board seems to channel a presence that is far more than a simple trick. The entity, known only as Zozo, hints at a malevolent intelligence that watches the group’s every move, turning the casual séance into a battle of nerves and belief. The film leans heavily into claustrophobic tension, letting the quiet corners of the cabin and the echoing lake amplify each whispered question and nervous laugh.

As the night deepens, the friends must confront the growing realization that they have invited something far beyond their control. Their dynamics—old connections, hidden anxieties, and the fragile trust that binds them—become the core of the story, heightening the psychological stakes as much as the supernatural ones. The tone remains relentless and foreboding, inviting the audience to wonder whether curiosity will become their undoing, and what hidden forces linger in the shadows of an otherwise ordinary gathering.
