A man with glasses wearing a plaid shirt appears to be on fire, with flames and smoke around him, in an outdoor night setting.

Clay + Rich are lifelong best friends working on a dysfunctional logging crew that thinks they’ve finally caught a break when their company offers them a deal they can’t refuse. The job? sneak into a sacred forest, cut a few million dollars' worth of prime lumber, and get out before anyone notices.

But once they cross into forbidden land, they awaken a towering, bloodthirsty guardian with a serious grudge against chainsaws and men in flannel.

Trapped deep in the woods with no backup & no way out, the crew realizes the job isn’t what it seemed.

Now, they’ll have to survive their cut-throat coworkers, a shady company, and a legendary monster hellbent on protecting the forest... before the entire town pays the price.

A muddy ground with animal paw prints and a bloodstained axe lying on the earth.

Our inspiration

As kids born in the 80s that grew up in the 90s, we were obsessed with movies that were just fun. From the outrageous gore of Predator to the kinship of Dumb & Dumber, these were the films that inspired us to write this movie. If you love these films as much as we do, join us on this journey and help us bring it to life.

Poster for the movie Pineapple Express featuring Seth Rogen and James Franco, with Rogen on the left holding a shotgun, Franco in the middle with a serious expression, and the character on the right smiling while holding a rifle.
Movie poster for Superbad featuring two young men standing side by side with a white background. One has curly hair and is wearing a navy blue shirt with patterned pants, and the other has short hair with a brown hoodie and brown pants. The title 'Superbad' is in large red letters across the middle, with the release date 'August' at the bottom.
Poster of the movie "Dumb and Dumber" featuring Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, with Jim Carrey smiling and Jeff Daniels with a surprised expression, and a humorous scene with messy hair and playful gestures.
Movie poster for 'Tucker and Dale vs. Evil' featuring three characters: a man in overalls holding a chainsaw, a man in casual shirt holding an axe and soda, and a woman in minimal clothing. The background depicts a burning cabin in the woods, with the tagline 'Evil just messed with the wrong hillbillies' and a quote 'Brilliant, hilarious, genius'.
