2025 · 83 min

A claustrophobic, slow-burn ordeal that traps you in the wreckage with the protagonist, making every creak and shadow feel like a threat.

Directed by: John Minton
Genres: Thriller, Horror
Starring: Marc Bessant, Jason Williamson, Alison Campbell

Tagline: I've watched someone die before... takes a while sometimes.
Overview: Late summer 1993. After stealing a stash of money and drugs, aging raver David crashes his car deep in the woods - trapped in the wreckage, injured and helpless, he hangs suspended between life and death. When a mysterious poacher discovers him, no rescue comes, only a watchful, unsettling presence that seems intent on letting nature finish the job. As the hours stretch and the elements close in, a tense and claustrophobic battle of wills, and wits, unfolds - where survival hinges on outlasting both the wilderness and the predator at its edge.
