The premise

Eight strangers engaged in an intense game of experts-only paintball find their friendly game taking a terrifying turn when one member of the team begins playing by a different set of rules. It started as a remote raw battle of wits and wiles set against the backdrop of majestic wilderness. With each shot fired, the stakes grew higher. But something horrible has happened, and what was once a team sport has become a relentless struggle for individual survival. The danger growing by the minute, the combatants gradually come to realize that their greatest adversary may be the very game they set out to play.

Horror Vault's take

Eight competitive strangers head deep into the wilderness for an elite paintball experience, but the adrenaline rush turns to genuine terror when the game stops being a game. Someone among them — or closing in on them — is playing for keeps, and the remote forest offers nowhere to hide. As teammates begin to fall, paranoia fractures every alliance and the line between sport and slaughter dissolves completely. What began as a battle of skill becomes a desperate, bloody fight to make it out alive.
