The Morrigan is a 2025 folk horror movie about an archaeologist who awakens an ancient Irish tomb, releasing a vengeful goddess determined to possess her rebellious teenage daughter.
Synopsis
A celebrated archaeologist travels to the mist-soaked hills of Ireland in search of a long-buried tomb, determined to uncover its secrets while struggling to repair her fractured relationship with her teenage daughter. But when her excavation breaks an ancient seal, a malevolent force is unleashed — the Morrigan, a Pagan War Goddess whose wrath once bathed the land in blood. As the awakened spirit seeks a new vessel, her daughter becomes the target of a terrifying possession. With myths bleeding into reality and the countryside trembling under a rising storm of supernatural violence, the mother must confront guilt, folklore, and a goddess who won’t be denied. Saving her daughter may demand a sacrifice older than the tomb itself.
