Nailbiter
In the shadow of the storm it waits.
Directed by Patrick Rea
Produced by SenoReality Pictures, Ministry Machine Productions
A claustrophobic creature-horror film that traps a family in a storm cellar with an unseen threat, trading psychological depth for sustained dread and survival tension.
A horror film that combines classic monster movie elements set within the backdrop of unpredictable Kansas weather. Start with a mother and her three daughters forced to take shelter from an advancing tornado in a local storm cellar. What is waiting for them underneath is another story entirely.
