Lilly’s Curse follows a troubled young girl who seeks shelter from a dark entity in a secluded wooden cabin deep in the woods. But her search for safety quickly unravels into a nightmare as she begins to experience unsettling paranormal phenomena. Hidden within an old cupboard, she discovers a dusty Punch and Judy stage where two eerie puppets, Louis and Dorothy, mysteriously spring to life. Their sinister, ritualistic dance soon reveals a dark force at play, putting Lilly’s life in grave danger.
