Synopsis
Three unsuspecting Americans in Russia find themselves in a dangerous situation out of their control. One of them, Billy, is a mute makeup/special effects artist working on a low-budget slasher film who, locked in the broken-down film studio late one night, thinks she witnesses the making of a snuff film. Thus begins a night of terror when her friends, who try to help her, get trapped in a complex web of lies and life-threatening situations that stem from the twisted mind of a criminal kingpin known only as "The Reaper."
