Don't scratch it

Warning: Spoilers
The production takes place in an isolated western bar in 1998. The police are investigating a bar filled with blood and guts. Covered in blood is the final girl Shiloh (Rachel Amanda Bryant) who is the bar tender. We then go back one day earlier (minus more flashbacks) as we are introduced to a group of patrons in the establishment. Rudy (Frankie Guzman) is sweet on Shiloh. He claims to have seen Bigfoot. He suspects Mr. Foot may be an alien or some kind of shapeshifter. As the small group interacts, along with a DJ believing she is a celebrity, action happens outside with Frank (Brook Hubbs) waiting on CeCe (Toya Morman), a drug user. A group of armed heroin attics go into the bar to escape a group of people outside. The outside group boards up the bar. They use a megaphone and ask for "the monster." We see flashbacks to the past as there are scenes of blood from the monster. We have a good idea about the monster, but the real identity is revealed about an hour into the feature.

The film opens with blood and guts and ends that way. The bulk of the "horror" film is the drama that plays out inside the bar which would not really exist without Frenzy (Ashley Undercuffler )

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
