In Person Pre-Screening of The Offering, a Tale of Ancient Hasidic Demons

Monday at 6:00pm PST

In the wake of a young Jewish girl's disappearance, the son of a Hasidic funeral director returns home with his pregnant wife in hopes of reconciling with his father. Little do they know that directly beneath them in the family morgue, an ancient evil with sinister plans for the unborn child lurks inside a mysterious corpse. Tapping into Jewish mysticism, The Offering aims to blend harrowing drama with an exciting twist on classic horror conventions.
