FEAR. ANGER. PAIN.

At the birth of New Zealand emotions were running high - unfortunately it feeds on emotions.

A “Sunset Studios (Duncan Eastwood, Zane Egginton, Richard Thomas)” FILM
WRITTEN BY Duncan Eastwood, Zane Egginton and Richard Thomas

1855, New Zealand.
Deep in the Coromandel forest three Pakeha gold prospectors and their Maori guide, Kepa, are attacked by an unseen force. While fleeing they take refuge with a group of local Maori, led by the fearsome Huinga, who are stockpiling weapons for a rebellion against the government. After members of both groups are killed by the invisible creature it is left to the remaining Maori and a Pakeha to form an uneasy alliance in order to survive. Is it a curse on the local Maori or the Pakeha’s presence that has incurred the creature’s wrath? And why does the creature remain invisible to some but reveal itself to others?
