Necromentia

In a bleak, nocturnal landscape where superstition clings to flesh as tightly as ink, a peculiar ritual binds three strangers to an uneasy fate. The film opens with the unsettling notion that tattooing an Ouija board onto one’s skin can awaken forces beyond comprehension. This concept becomes the axis around which the story revolves, inviting viewers into a world where the line between the material and the metaphysical is blurred, and every whispered promise of contact with the beyond feels both seductive and dangerous.

Hagen is a man consumed by grief, haunted by the loss of his beloved and convinced that the ink might reverse death’s finality. Travis lives on the edge of reality, caring for a vulnerable sibling while yearning to breach the veil that separates life from the after‑life, his desperation a mirror of his brother’s absence. Morbius, once a bartender whose ordinary existence was marked by quiet obsession, now finds himself pulled back from oblivion, driven by a thirst for retribution that hints at deeper, unseen currents. Their individual quests intersect, each drawn by the promise that the cursed tattoos might grant them the answers they crave.

The tone is decidedly otherworldly, a meditation on obsession that blends stark, almost clinical horror with a lingering, poetic melancholy. Shadowed corridors, flickering lights, and a persistent susurrus of unseen voices create an atmosphere where every breath feels charged with latent dread. The film’s style is unapologetically surreal, letting the audience feel the weight of each character’s yearning without revealing the full scope of what lies ahead, inviting curiosity about how far they will go when the skin becomes a gateway to the unknown.
