Visually, this Gothic horror looks interesting, but then there is the synopsis.
1859. When a young Māori woman is summoned from New Zealand to North Yorkshire, she uncovers her horrific colonial heritage and is compelled to confront and destroy the titled Englishman who devastated her family.
Mārama is a historical horror story that captures the unique pain and burden women face under colonial systems. It captures the way that they become objects for white men to possess, and how their bodies become the sites of violence.
