PURE (feature film, dir. Hannah Macpherson - 2019)

Teen girls perform a secret ritual at a Purity Retreat — but when one of them begins to see a supernatural entity, the terrifying question becomes what is more dangerous: the demons they’ve unleashed, or the men trying to protect them from it?

"MIDSOMMAR meets THE HANDMAID’S TALE" - Refinery29
