Quick Answer

What is Carver about?

Carver is a 2008 American horror film directed by Franklin Guerrero Jr. about a group of young campers who stumble upon real snuff films and are hunted by two homicidal brothers.

Programmer's Pick

Carver doesn’t shy away from hixploitation’s nastier side—think sadism, gore, and a pair of mountain maniacs who turn a camping trip into a blood-soaked ordeal. If you're after a slasher that goes for broke with brutality and backwoods horror, this one’s got your number.
