A visceral, incomprehensible found-footage nightmare of cosmic horror and bodily destruction that prioritizes sensory assault and dread over narrative clarity.

Deep in the Mojave desert, under a scorching blood-red sun, four travelers have set up camp to make art. One fateful night, the group is thrust into a feverish tornado of flayed flesh and mind-boggling monstrosities, the likes of which mere humans simply cannot fathom.
