Synopsis: A struggling Long Island metal band, hungry for their big break, stumbles upon a mysterious director on social media. He offers to shoot their first music video for free, and his work looks promising – too good to pass up. Driven by desperation and dreams of fame, they jump at the chance, making the trek to Pennsylvania, eager to create a killer video. After a night of heavy drinking with the director, who is charming and eager to please, the band wakes up to a shocking transformation. The man who was all smiles and flattery is now a cold, controlling tyrant on set. Tensions rise as egos clash, and the director’s iron-fisted need for control becomes impossible to ignore. A heated argument nearly sends the band packing, but with dreams on the line and feeling they’ve come too far to quit, they decide to push forward. It’s a decision that seals their fate. One by one, the director lures them into the performance space, where the shoot takes a sinister turn. The band members soon realize they aren’t filming a music video – they’re starring in a twisted, real-life snuff film, with the director orchestrating their torment for his sick vision.
