Black Mandala presents the horror film NIGHTFALL: A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION, directed by Myles McEwen and Ripley Stevens. Two paranormal investigators, rumored to be cousins of the Warrens, thought they had seen it all—until a call led them to a place where the rules of our world no longer apply.
NIGHTFALL: A PARANORMAL INVESTIGATION is part of the new wave of Australian horror that has been gaining worldwide attention, following the path carved by the Philippou brothers (Talk to Me). With striking originality, the film immerses its story in 1988, delivering a chilling atmosphere that pays homage to genre-defining classics like The Exorcist.
The year is 1988. Paranormal investigators Mick Sutherland and Archie Charlesworth have built their careers confronting the unexplained across Northern Europe. But when a desperate call draws them to the isolated home of Elizabeth Blair, they encounter a presence unlike anything they have ever faced. Over the course of seven days, this force unravels their sanity, twists their perception of reality, and threatens to destroy their bond.
This is no ordinary haunting.
This is Case 13.
