Is it for you?

Best for anyone who enjoys a good scare. Best watched with the lights down and someone to grab.

Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 33 min.
What might put you off
Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.

A group of students goes into the woods to study birds, and soon the dead begin to rise to devour the living.
