Fear Island

Five college friends arrive at a remote island cabin for what they hope will be a carefree weekend. A breakdown in the car and worsening weather leave them cut off from help, with no way to reach the mainland. As fear and paranoia mount, a lone hunter begins stalking them, drawing on a hidden grievance tied to something the group did in the past. The threat escalates through watchful nights, misdirections, and the tension of a confined environment where trust fades and every whispered secret could seal someone’s fate. Fear Island plays on isolation and guilt, turning a simple getaway into a deadly test of nerves. As the night wears on, each clue raises more questions than it resolves alone.
