Don’t Say Its Name is a 2021 supernatural horror movie about a Native activist’s death unleashing an ancient force. Amid brutal murders on a snowy reserve, investigators confront blood, betrayal, and vengeful myths.
Synopsis: When environmental activist Kharis Redwater dies under mysterious circumstances, her grieving mother, Mary Lynn, performs a forbidden ritual to bring her back. But the ritual awakens an ancient, vengeful spirit that transforms Kharis into a Wheetago – a relentless predator cursed with insatiable hunger. In the shadows of a small northern town, Kharis’s wrath spirals into a feeding frenzy, leaving a trail of destruction in her wake. Ex-military park ranger Stacy Cole and police officer Betty Stonechild must confront not only Kharis but also the dark forces fueling her transformation. Drawing on their traditional teachings and inner strength, they face a harrowing choice: stop Kharis before the town falls, or risk losing themselves to the same ancient power. As the Wheetago grows stronger, time is running out to end the bloodshed.
