Fantasia 15 – Québec Premiere – CUB

Festival Screening – Tuesday, July 28, 2015 @ 5:15 PM Concordia Hall Theatre

Every Scout troop has one: that troubled, unpopular outcast kid who doesn’t fit in, doesn’t act like the rest of the troop, and always gets picked on. Unfortunately for Sam (Maurice Luijten), he’s that kid in this troop, and this camping trip to the middle of the Belgian forest, complete with legends of a killer werewolf-boy named Kai roaming the woods, is going to be tough. Not making matters any easier are some local bullies, a mean-spirited Scout master and his vicious dog, who doesn’t like Sam, either. Exploring on his own, Sam discovers a series of deadly traps littered throughout the forest and then makes the most horrifying discovery of all: Kai is no legend — he’s real — and everyone is in danger unless Sam does something about it.

Director – Jonas Govaerts
