Pernicious (2015)

"Pernicious" is a horror thriller about three friends whose vacation abroad awakens a cursed local legend. Their trip spirals into something dark and supernatural. They cross paths with a vengeful force tied to the region's folklore. The film trades in slow-building dread, but it's the flashes of skin-baring danger that keep genre fans clicking. Ciara Hanna leads the cast. Emily O'Brien and Jackie Moore round out the trio at the center of the terror. The archive holds three scene clips pulled from the film. Each one catches a different actress in a vulnerable, unguarded state. It's a low-budget horror title. But the mix of scares and exposure has made it a steady draw on adult fan sites. Years after release, that combination still keeps "Pernicious" circulating.
