In a town bordered by deep, silent woods, children are taught the old rhyme: "Stay inside after dark, be quiet and still, or the Little Girl Eater will come for his fill." Most believe it's just a story to scare them into obedience—a local superstition born from rustling leaves and overactive imaginations. But when a grieving outsider arrives to investigate her niece's mysterious disappearance, she uncovers a terrifying truth that binds the community in a pact of fearful silence.

The creature is real. It does not consume flesh, but something far more precious: youth, memory, and innocence itself. To appease it and keep their own children safe, the town has made a terrible, generations-old offering. Now, the outsider must decide whether to expose the horrifying secret or become the next sacrifice to the thing in the woods that hungers not for meat, but for the essence of little girls.

ALTER presents the exclusive online premiere of a chilling folk horror nightmare, where the darkest legends are upheld by the most desperate of lies.

Content Warning: This film contains intense psychological horror, themes involving children, and disturbing folkloric terror.
