JEKKA

ROOT OF EVIL

SYNOPSIS

JEKKA: ROOT OF EVIL is a terrifying supernatural thriller that uncovers the dark origins behind the curse that would forever haunt the Monroe bloodline. Long before Jekka became a legend whispered in fear, she was a young girl whose world was destroyed by greed, violence, and betrayal.

When ruthless landowner Bruce Monroe Sr. and his mercenaries invade the hidden homeland of an Indigenous tribe known as The Unseen, they unleash a massacre that leaves an entire civilization buried beneath blood and fire. Forced to witness the murder of her father and the destruction of her people, fourteen year old Jekka is consumed by a rage so powerful it awakens an ancient darkness hidden deep within the mountains.

As bodies begin to disappear and horrifying rituals emerge from the shadows, Bruce's young son, Bruce Jr., finds himself trapped between the horrors of his father's cruelty and the supernatural force growing around Jekka. What begins as revenge soon evolves into something far more sinister — a curse tied directly to the Monroe family, infecting each generation with madness, death, and unspeakable evil.

Blending psychological terror, brutal suspense, and haunting mythology, JEKKA: ROOT OF EVIL delivers a chilling cinematic experience in the spirit of Hereditary, Apocalypto, and The Conjuring Universe. With shocking imagery, emotional depth, and an unforgettable villain born from tragedy, the film explores how monsters are not simply created by darkness… but by humanity itself.

Some curses never die.

They live in the blood.
