“Who will survive and what will be left of them?”

Horror

Five friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way, they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.

VIBE

This is a relentless, suffocating descent into pure, unadulterated terror. It feels like a fever dream you can't wake from, a raw, visceral experience that grinds you down with its oppressive atmosphere and unsettling realism. It's less about gore and more about the psychological dread of inescapable, primal fear.
