The Corporation
A woman's dream job at a financial firm hides a supernatural, predatory secret.

The Corporation quickly reveals its true nature through its invasive policies. It treats employees as family in a way that strips away their autonomy.

The horror stems from the blurring line between professional duty and personal sacrifice.
