Foxhole existentialism meets low-budget nightmare fuel — are they dead or just badly directed?
Five soldiers are stuck in a foxhole in a deserted camp. But they are surrounded by strange creatures in black who don't attack but just watch them, waiting... As the men question whether they are alive or dead, they disappear into the woods to their fate - except one.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Director David A. Prior and star Ted Prior are brothers who made dozens of low-budget action/horror films together throughout the 80s and 90s — this was their late-career reunion.
The film shamelessly borrows its 'are we dead?' structure from Jacob's Ladder and Carnival of Souls, but with roughly 1/100th the budget and 0% of the critical respect.
