HAANT

---

In the early 1800s, enslaved Africans in Charleston, South Carolina organized one of the largest planned uprisings in American history, Vesey’s Rebellion. But betrayal shattered the movement from within.

In the aftermath, a fearless woman turned to the spiritual traditions of the Gullah Geechee and summoned the Boo Hag, the sinister HAANT, to deliver vengeance on the traitor and those who profited from her people’s suffering.

Over time, the HAANT'S power moved through generations, shifting from whispered folklore to living terror.

Now, when a successful Black New Yorker returns home to sell his family’s ancestral land, he unknowingly stirs an old force tied to a buried bloodline secret. What was once conjured for justice awakens again, seeking reckoning.

HAANT brings this Southern legend to the screen, where history, myth, and horror collide.
