Cagey

66 min

A scrappy, low-budget horror-comedy that lurches from deadpan slacker humour into messy cabin chaos, feeling like a scrappy midnight movie.

David Bachmeier
Genres
Horror, Comedy
Tagline
A tale of one crazy loon.
Overview
Meet Emily. She can't quite get it together and on top of that, she's just been fired and her rent is almost due. Looking to score some quick money, she takes on a house sitting gig at a tranquil lakeside cabin for the weekend. It seems like the perfect setup, but things aren't always what they seem. What would be a peaceful retreat quickly spirals into chaos, and Emily's about to find out every which way the shit hits the fan.
How it feels
