Slew Hampshire
Slew Hampshire (2010/2011)
Written and directed by: Flood Reed
Synopsis (Spoiler Alert!):
In June of 1994, one of the most brutal mass slaughters in history occurred in the woods of northern New England. Four months later, history is about to repeat itself. The end of summer signals the brink of manhood for a group of 18-year-old boys who pridefully call New Hampshire their home. Led by "Buddy" – once regarded as a major league pitching prospect – the boys embark on a local rite of passage, traveling north for one final weekend of debauchery in Canada. Unfortunately, it may just be their final weekend, period – as this rite goes very wrong.
Along the way, the boys pick up "Bro," their most intelligent – and only African American – friend, who is about to embark on an academic career at Dartmouth College. Where his left hand once resided is now a stump, and while this painful reminder of a terrible accident signifies a darker time, little does he realize what it will come to signify to those whom he encounters in the backwoods of New Hampshire. Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “Not till we are completely lost or turned 'round do we appreciate the vastness and strangeness of nature.” Unfortunately for the boys, just being lost would be a luxury compared to what they are about to experience, as there is nothing to be appreciated about what nature has in store for them on this night.
After the boys are intercepted by a group of hunters on a sadistic annual expedition, what began as a humorous comedy of errors becomes a Darwinian gore fest, as they all unwittingly find themselves in the lair of a blood-thirsty tribe, descendant of the first Europeans to settle North America. And as if contending with a 1000-year-old culture in the last throes of survival weren’t enough, there’s also the matter of a mythical creature known as “Eto Leechee” rumored to inhabit these woods.
What unfolds is a cerebral yet repulsive journey through the history and nature of humanity and civilization, with four distinct clans vying for supremacy and survival. And from the time the first victim has been slain, less than 24 hours will pass before a slew of lives have been claimed and the last man remains standing. (From their Facebook)

Guess this could be posted in the magGot Films thread, but it's not really a magGot film even though he worked on it. Either way, it looks like a fun film and of course Michael seems to have done some great effects in it as well.
