This specific sound possesses the power to summon their future deaths, which then proceed to hunt the students down. The film, which features cast members Dafne Keen, Sophie Nélisse, and Nick Frost, premiered at Fantastic Fest. It utilizes the trope of a cursed object to examine the consequences of the instrument's influence on the characters.
