The Damnation

Synopsis

‘The Damnation’ takes place in the small largely Indigenous Canadian communities of Creek and Buffalo Mines. Since the closing of the mines a number of years ago the area is a shell of its once thriving past. The area is mostly made up of seniors and Indigenous people who have inhabited the area for hundreds of years. To further complicate matters developers - led by a mysterious religious figure have appeared and are clearcutting the land. These developments and age-old colonial sentiments have helped un-earth a malignant evil that begins not only destroying the environment; but feeding on the blood of locals. Eighteen year old Sarah Blackice is forced into taking action. Sarah, along with her cousins Birdie and Jimi, and their friend Wes approach a local talk radio host of a show about myths, monsters and urban legends. The show titled the Val Helsing Show named Remi Gates for his expertise in helping combat the evil that has arisen. This unlikely team must band together to overcome the dark malevolence they're confronted with.
