Little Hope

On a rain-soaked night, a college bus crashes on the outskirts of the abandoned town of Little Hope. The survivors—four students and their professor—emerge shaken but alive, only to discover that the town is eerily empty, shrouded in fog, and seemingly frozen in time. As they search for help, the group begins experiencing disturbing visions of the past. They witness scenes from the 17th-century witch trials, where innocent townsfolk were accused, tortured, and executed. Each vision feels personal—too personal—as if the past is watching them back. Soon, they realize they are not alone.
