Death Ranch
In 1970s America, three African-American siblings on the run from the police take refuge at an abandoned Tennessee Ranch, unaware their hideout is on the hunting grounds of a cannibalistic Ku Klux Klan cult. Trapped and tortured, the three must fight tooth and nail to escape alive and take down the bloodthirsty Klan.
