Slasher Summer

Back in high school, seven unlikely students were drawn together over one shared love: all things horror.

Years later they come back to their hometown of Cedar Lake Falls to reunite. The town happens to be the setting of a cult classic 80's slasher film and so what better place to stay than in the very lodge the movie was filmed in.

But then ominous figures are spotted across the lake, members of the group are pulled underwater and a masked killer is unleashed.

Suddenly they realise they're in the same kind of horror they love to watch, only it's not so fun being on the other side…
