Shaman is a 2024 supernatural horror movie about a missionary in a remote Ecuadorian volcano who must confront her faith when dark forces, older than her religion, possess her son, leading to an unimaginable reckoning.
Synopsis: Candice, a devoted Catholic missionary, dedicates her life to converting an Indigenous community in the remote Ecuadorian Andes, alongside her husband Joel and their teenage son, Elliot. Their tranquil existence near the towering Chimborazo volcano shatters when conflict brews with a local Shaman, who fiercely opposes the changes Candice and Father Meyer, a bilingual priest, have imposed. When Elliot suddenly falls gravely ill, Candice fears the Shaman’s retribution. Yet, as her son’s condition deteriorates, she uncovers a far more sinister truth: Elliot is possessed by an ancient, malevolent entity. Confronted with the harrowing reality that this demon predates her faith, Candice faces an unthinkable decision – one that could either save her son or doom their souls to eternal darkness. As the battle between faith and darkness intensifies, Candice must choose between her convictions and the life of her beloved child.
