In the middle of a snowy no man's land, Charlotte picks up Max, a hitchhiker; they stop in a truck-stop restaurant, and when Max doesn't come back from the bathroom, Charlotte starts looking for him in vain. She decides to return during the night but gets kidnapped by the bartender, La Spack, who turns out to be Max's mother and needs to feed her kids, 'The pack', a bunch of blood lusting ghouls. Charlotte now faces a terrifying reality: these ghouls are already dead... and hungry. Alone and in the middle of nowhere, she quickly realizes... she's next on the menu!

Why it matters

A grim and relentless descent into isolated terror where rural folklore meets cannibalistic horror.

  • Classic survival nightmare set against a bleak, snowbound wasteland that amplifies the film’s claustrophobic dread.
  • Practical creature effects deliver gruesome, tangible ghouls that recall ’80s body horror craftsmanship with a modern indie grit.
  • Perfect for fans of atmospheric, slow-burn terror that favors creeping suspense over cheap jump scares.
  • While pacing occasionally falters, the unsettling mood and raw performances anchor a genuinely unsettling experience.
