Feral

Directed by Mark Young1h 30m2018

A wild animal attacks six medical students on a weekend hike in the woods. One by one, they become infected with a “feral disease,” turning them into rabid, bloodthirsty creatures, and the vacation becomes a nightmare as they fight to survive each other.

Our read: Feral (2018) reads as a heavy, kinetic, grounded thriller · action · drama entry — extreme in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook.
