“They were warned...They are doomed...And on Friday the 13th, nothing will save them.”

Horror

Camp counselors are stalked and murdered by an unknown assailant while trying to reopen a summer camp that was the site of a child's drowning.

VIBE

This is a primal, cabin-in-the-woods nightmare. It feels like a summer idyll curdling into relentless dread, punctuated by visceral, shocking violence. The atmosphere is thick with impending doom, a relentless hunt that turns youthful exuberance into a desperate fight for survival against an unseen, vengeful force.
