Six troubled teens at secluded camp for juvenile delinquents must fight for their lives after a mysterious virus transforms the guards into cannibalistic mutants.

Why it matters

A raw, no-frills survival horror that traps a group of teens in a claustrophobic camp overrun by flesh-hungry mutants.

  • Lean into the early 2010s indie horror scene with a gritty, low-budget charm and practical gore effects that recall the heyday of 80s survival slashers.
  • The virus-as-catalyst taps into classic body horror tropes, delivering visceral transformations without leaning too hard on CGI.
  • Perfect for fans of camp-set terror and mutant creature chaos—think The Signal meets Wrong Turn with a youthful twist.
  • Not polished, but that rough edge amplifies the desperation and isolation, making it a cult curiosity for those who savor scrappy, earnest horror experiments.
