Summary

A group of scouts heads off to summer camp in the woods, but their adventure turns horrific when they encounter a masked boy and discover a forest riddled with deadly traps. Part edgy slasher, part cruel tale, the film draws the viewer into a spiral of oppressive violence.

Our comment

Presented at the Toronto International Film Festival and winning several awards (including the Gérardmer Fantastic Film Festival, where it received the Youth Jury Prize and the Audience Award), Cub marked the emergence of Jonas Govaerts as one of the most promising voices in Belgian genre cinema. Its blend of folklore, tension, and inventive direction immediately won over thrill-seekers.
