VANDAL X Coven(1997) Coach Jacket

Coven(1997) - those eerie scenes you’ve surely seen online. An independent, low-budget horror film, written, directed, and starring Mark Borchardt, an American man who spent over three years bringing it to life with the help of his friends and neighbors. The story follows a disillusioned writer, whose life revolves around alcohol, as he joins a mysterious cult through a friend's introduction, leading to a series of unsettling events. Presented in raw, grainy black and white, the film cultivates a unique aesthetic through its peculiar, unsettling scenes. As an independent production with virtually no budget, it’s replete with noticeable errors and amateurish touches. Yet, the pervasive sense of unease and the cult-like, dark imagery leave a lasting impression. Many iconic shots have become widely circulated online, frequently used as accompanying visuals for dark web urban legends or featured in video edits.
