The premise

Chasing their dream of landing their own hunting show, Jake and Stevie head to the dense, secluded mountains of West Virginia. Equipped with only their bow and camera, they have just three days to kill a monster buck big enough to grab the attention of the network...and they've found him. But the sun has set, and they realize they're not alone.

Horror Vault's take

Two hunters venture deep into the remote West Virginia mountains, cameras rolling, chasing the buck of a lifetime and a shot at their own TV show. What begins as a ambitious wilderness expedition turns sinister when night falls and something in the woods makes it clear they are no longer the ones doing the hunting. Shot in a pseudo-documentary style, the film uses its found footage framework to wring raw, claustrophobic dread from the unforgiving terrain. Fans of slow-burn wilderness horror will find the setting as threatening as anything lurking within it.
