Mel and Ikenna must confront an eerie presence that seems to entrap them in the forest's haunting past. Struggling with their growing paranoia and the forest’s chilling echoes of time, they must unravel whether they are haunted by vengeful spirits or simply unraveling from the strain of isolation. Winner of the Golden Ring for Best Film at the Ravenna Nightmare Film Fest, Come Home is a meditative exploration of loneliness and the relentless power of place.
