Creature Unknown

When a group of old friends decide to camp out in the same woods where one of their pals was killed four years earlier, their weekend reunion turns grisly once more as a mysterious creature begins to haunt them -- and hunt them down. At the advice of a geneticist, the campers attempt to leave the forest, but it may be too late; the murderous being seems hell-bent on destruction, no matter what the cost.

Directed by Michael Burnett, Creature Unknown leans on a strong ensemble — Kristin Herold, Chase Masterson, Chris Hoffman — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2004.
