Proof that in the '70s, vacationing in the everglades was strictly BYO-weapon.

Programmer's Pick

Blood Stalkers delivers a double whammy of horror—both creature-feature chills and hixploitation mayhem. Between the everglades’ lurking sea monster and a crew of unfriendly, axe-swinging locals, this indie gem makes sure you’ll think twice before booking that remote backwoods getaway.

Mike and Kim and Jeri and Daniel, two couples from the city seeking a relaxing vacation in the backwoods of the Florida everglades, soon find their peaceful getaway trip is becoming a nightmare of unrelenting horror!
