Tekenchu: The Rite of the Nahuales

2026 · 80 min

A creeping, dread-soaked folk horror that unfolds quietly in rural shadows, unsettling more through ritual and atmosphere than shock.

Overview: A federal agent is investigating a complex case: a series of chilling infanticides in which the victims’ teeth have been extracted; meanwhile, in a nearby village, two healers find a wounded man in the woods and offer him refuge.
How it feels: Eerie, dark, tense and bleak. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Death, mystery, faith, violence
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
