An Taibhse (The Ghost)

An Taibhse (The Ghost) is a haunting exploration of isolation, survival, and the supernatural. Set in famine-ravaged Ireland, Éamon and his daughter Máire accept a seemingly tranquil job at an isolated mansion. But their solitude is shattered as the house reveals its dark past. Supernatural occurrences grow increasingly menacing, forcing the duo into a harrowing battle against unseen forces. As Éamon spirals into madness, the lines between reality and nightmare blur in this bone-chilling tale. Blending the historical with the horrific, An Taibhse is more than just a haunted house story—it’s a cinematic milestone, being the first-ever horror film shot entirely in the Irish language.
