Based on the American legend of Croatoan, The Town That Takes centers on Army veteran Dean Richardson, who’s haunted by his past. Richardson travels to North Carolina following the sudden death of his ex-wife, hoping to rebuild his fractured relationship with his twelve-year-old son, Wyatt. Their journey takes a terrifying turn when they stop in a remote backwoods town plagued by a series of gruesome and unexplained murders.

As local detectives investigate ritualistic killings and disturbing reports of seemingly inhuman creatures, Dean finds himself at the center of a growing nightmare. When Wyatt mysteriously disappears, Dean must form an uneasy alliance with veteran Detective Douglas O’Shea to uncover the horrifying truth behind an ancient legend known only as Croatoan. With something sinister lurking in the surrounding forests and the town descending into chaos, Dean must confront an evil beyond comprehension before his son is lost forever.

The folklore-based action-horror thriller was directed by Britt Bankhead (Insane Like Me), who co-wrote the script with Jonathan Blaze. Bankhead produced his directorial debut alongside Grace Patterson under Bankhead Productions. Bankhead also stars in The Town That Takes, along with Miles Mussenden (Marvel’s Cloak & Dagger, Tulsa King), Grace Patterson (Slotherhouse), Mike Markoff (Hit Man), and Nico Tirozzi (The Penguin, Spirited).
