## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

Carpathians, winter. A carriage wheel pitches into ruts. Blackened stones smell of old fire. A servant carries a corpse to the altar.

The servant’s blade opens a vein above the ashes. Drops hissing into dust stir a sigh from the shadows. Two couples wander into the wrong ruin.

Fisher’s Hammer horror needs no fog machines.

**Mood tags**: 3am-cult, dread
