The premise
After a run-in with the cops at a punk show goes sideways, Chelsea and her pals flee the city in search of a place to lay low. Running to the security of an old, abandoned family cabin in the woods, they fall under the watchful eye of an overzealous park ranger who holds a secret from Chelsea's past.
Horror Vault's take
When a punk night out spirals into a confrontation with police, Chelsea and her crew bolt for the relative safety of a remote family cabin deep in the wilderness. What should be a refuge quickly turns deadly once a menacing park ranger sets his sights on the group — and he seems to know more about Chelsea than a stranger should. Director Jenn Wexler injects the film with a raw, punk-rock energy that sets it apart from the slasher pack. The neon-tinged aesthetic and needle-drop soundtrack collide with backwoods brutality in ways that feel genuinely fresh.
