As I said yesterday, I think the most exciting title playing in the Midnight Madness portion of the Toronto International Film Festival (from Sep. 4-14) is Jonas Govaerts’ Cub, which looks like a group of scouts get hunted down by a feral child.
Set to World Premiere, we scored new images (thanks to Fabien M.), as well as this lengthy synopsis:
“CUB is a horror adventure in which a young imaginative twelve-year-old boy named Sam heads off to camp with his Cub Scouts pack, leaders Peter and Chris and quartermaster Yasmin. Once they enter the woods, Sam quickly feels something is not quite right. He soon stumbles upon a mysterious tree house and meets a shifty, masked feral-looking child. When Sam tries to warn his leaders, they ignore him: the boy often tells tall tales and Sam’s mysterious past which he refuses to talk about makes his leader Peter mistrust him. As Sam gets more and more isolated from the other scouts, he becomes convinced a terrible fate awaits them: the Feral Child, it turns out, is the helper of the Poacher, an evil psychopath, who has riddled the forest with ingenious traps and is intent on slaughtering the scouts… one by one…”
Here’s your first look at the feral child from the crowd-sourced horror title.
