Hacksaw
A found-footage slasher that trades on paranoia and the threat of a resurrected killer, prioritizing jump scares and survival tension over character depth or thematic weight.
A young couple on a road trip takes a detour to the site where a notorious murderer, Ed "Hacksaw" Crowe, became an urban legend on the day he was killed many years before, but they quickly find the legend may not be quite as dead as they were counting on.
