Why this project?

  • Audiences are hungry for real horror.
  • Practical effects are a lost art we’re bringing back.
  • It's a love letter to the creature features we grew up on — but with modern themes: ecological destruction, trauma, and community survival.
  • This isn’t just another indie horror film. It’s a handcrafted, blood-soaked rebellion against soulless CGI monsters.
