Synopsis
Follows a trio of filmmakers on what should have been a simple walk in the woods ... but quickly becomes an excursion into heart-stopping terror. As the three become inexplicably but undeniably lost, morale deteriorates. Hunger sets in. Accusations fly. By night, unseen evil stirs beyond their campfire's light. By day, chilling ritualistic figures are discovered nearby. As the end of their journey approaches, they realize that what they're filming now is not a legend ... but their own descent into unimaginable horror.
