A team of several researchers travel to the Swiss Alps to investigate a scientific discovery on human evolution. The trip, however, turns into a deadly fight for survival when the team crash into a gully and find themselves falling prey to someone...or something.

Why it matters

A tense blend of survival horror and primal terror set against the unforgiving isolation of the Alps.

  • Practical effects and atmospheric tension evoke classic creature features with a modern, claustrophobic edge.
  • Explores human evolution as a source of fear — tapping into our deepest anxieties about what lurks beneath the veneer of civilization.
  • Fans of regional European horror will appreciate its moody, mountainous setting and slow-burn dread.
  • Not for those wanting a polished studio thriller; its rough edges add to the unsettling, unpredictable vibe.
