Triggered
Nine friends, all harboring a dark secret, go camping in the woods. After a wild night of partying, they wake up with suicide bombs strapped to their chests, all with varying times on their countdown clocks. They decide to work out how to disarm the bombs or find help - until they discover they can 'take' one another's time by killing each other.
Why it matters
Nine friends trapped in the woods with ticking suicide bombs discover the grim calculus of survival where time is life—and killing steals both.
- A high-concept blend of survival thriller and body horror that taps into pandemic-era anxieties about trust and mortality.
- Raw performances anchor the tension, especially during the early campfire setup that humanizes each doomed character.
- Erratic handheld camerawork and frenetic editing undercut immersion but mirror the chaos and panic at the story’s heart.
- Fans of claustrophobic, high-stakes horror with a moral twist will find something to chew on, though patience for stylistic excess is required.
