Synopsis

A group of ordinary women on a road trip through rural France take a wrong turn and shelter in a remote woodland villa after their journey descends into arguments and tensions. As night falls, they realise the forest is the hunting ground of a supernatural killer known only as The Butcher. Trapped, divided, and with one of them blind, the women are forced into a brutal fight for survival against a predator that follows no human rules.
Designed as the birth of a new horror icon, The Butcher is a high-concept supernatural slasher built for franchise expansion and global streaming audiences.
