Fresh Cut

A family road trip. A quaint countryside detour. A butcher shop with a taste for more than meat.
When the Hastings family ventures deep into rural Virginia for what's supposed to be a quiet vacation, they stumble upon a small-town meat market boasting "the freshest cuts in the county." But behind the butcher's smile lies a gruesome secret-and by the time they realize it, the trap is already set.
As the family is separated and hunted one by one, the line between predator and prey blurs in a blood-soaked fight for survival. What began as a peaceful getaway quickly descends into a nightmare carved from bone and butcher steel.
"Fresh Cut" is a pulse-pounding descent into rural horror, where hospitality hides horror and survival is served raw.
