Music archivists collect cursed folk songs in Cronenbergian low-budget horror.

Anna and Aleks record forgotten Irish songs to sell them to collectors on the black market. The music's value is determined by its rarity, and when the couple stumbles upon an ancient song in an extinct dialect, passed down through generations for centuries, they realize they've found something truly unique. They soon discover why the ballad was never noted down, and at that moment, All You Need is Death escalates into messy body horror of the finest kind. Documentary filmmaker Paul Duane's horror debut encompasses an impressively bizarre world-building, charged with magnetic music and exquisite sound design.
