The Hollow Chapel

The Hollow Chapel

When Calvin Chambers loses his business and moves his family into a inherited Victorian estate in rural Alabama, they discover the property harbors a century-old curse. His grandfather David was possessed by the spirit of his own father Thomas, a grief-maddened man who built a hidden chapel deep in the woods and trapped the souls of stolen children inside porcelain dolls. The curse seeks a new keeper in every generation — and it finds one in Beth, Calvin's wife, slowly consuming her from the inside out while the family's ledger of victims grows.

As Beth's possession deepens and neighbors begin disappearing, teenage Trisha teams up with a gothic classmate named Marsha to unravel the truth buried in the hollow's dark history. Meanwhile, the curse moves to claim its final victim — thirteen-year-old Nancy, buried alive in the family graveyard.

Racing against time, the family pulls Nancy from the grave. But Marsha's research reveals the only way to permanently break the curse is fire — the chapel, every doll, and the possessed Beth must all burn together
