This hilarious 2008 film delivers its own brand of shaky camera, abrupt edits, and intelligent (and largely) improvised dialogue.

The horror story begins when four struggling young actors decide to hole up in a rustic, secluded cabin and write a script that will give them the dream parts they've always wanted. As they drink, "mumble," and toss around ideas, the friendships become blurry and cabin fever sets in. One night they realize they’re not alone in the woods.
