A loose, talky hangout that slowly tightens into a scrappy cabin thriller, funny and awkward before it turns uneasy.

Overview: Four actors go to a cabin in the woods to write, direct, and act in a film that will jump-start their careers. Their idea is a horror film about a man with a bag over his head, but what happens when that man mysteriously shows up?
How it feels: Tense, light, satirical and cynical. Slow-burning and needs your attention.
About: Friendship, ambition, deception, obsession
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
