Independent genre films are a god-send these days with horror being over-saturated with reboots and remakes.

Directed by Lexi Balestrieri (Die Die Delta Pi), the film stars Tracy Roese, David E. McMahon, Zoe Adkins, Natalie Ise, Bob Glazier, Lisa Marie Kart, Carson Overfield, Lisa Walton, and Coggin.
