Black Wake (2018) is a science fiction horror film directed by Jeremiah Kipp, combining elements of Lovecraftian horror and psychological mystery. The story follows a team of scientists investigating a series of strange deaths along the east coast. The victims appear to have gone insane before their deaths, and clues point to a mysterious black substance linked to an ancient, malevolent force lurking beneath the ocean.
Dr. Luiza Moreira (Nana Gouvea), a scientist who specializes in ancient texts, is brought in to analyze the situation. As she digs deeper into the case, she begins to uncover a terrifying conspiracy involving an underwater alien parasite that can control the human mind.

Black Wake explores themes of madness, paranoia and cosmic horror, inspired by the classic stories of HP Lovecraft. The film’s eerie atmosphere, combined with a plot involving mind control, ancient evil and apocalyptic risk, makes for a tense and unsettling viewing experience for fans of sci-fi horror.
