More About This Film

REEL is a British horror film that turns a familiar genre ritual into a nightmare. After watching a slasher movie late at night, a group of horror-loving friends become trapped in a terrifying game where the rules of slasher cinema begin playing out around them.

The film uses horror conventions as part of its central concept, allowing the characters to recognize the tropes while still being unable to control what happens next. That meta approach gives REEL a playful relationship with classic slashers while keeping the focus on survival, escalating paranoia, and the fear of becoming part of the movie.
