Story: The narrative of Night Terror unfolds as Anna, following the tragic car accident that claims her parents’ lives, is compelled to reside with her distant grandmother May. This relocation from the bustling city to a tranquil countryside setting proves challenging for Anna, as she grapples with adjusting to the slow-paced lifestyle.

Nightmarish visions from an ominous spirit invaded her sleep, tormenting her dreams. Can she break free from these haunting specters before it’s too late and face the same grim destiny as her kin?
