Survive Girls poster
NR

A brutal mix of horror and survival, this film throws young women into a world where every moment could be their last. The fear feels constant and overwhelming, but what stands out is how they adapt, resist, and push back against the violence. It’s raw, tense, and uncomfortably real.. the kind of story that makes you wonder how you’d react in the same situation.

Director Ryuichi Honda keeps it flush with 60s flavors, mood-indigo music, paisley-print fashions in dayglo colors, outrageous zooms and dizzying pans, and best of all, it looks like it was made on a budget of 10 dollars - and when the money ran out the film ended.
