Our take
Pitfall traps a hiker in a spike pit while a bow-wielding hunter closes in. The official site and listings rate it R for intense, gory, brutal violence. Expect impalement, stalking, and slasher kills.
Story (may spoil tone)
After a young man is separated from his friends in the woods, he falls into a ten-foot deep pit of spikes, impaling him through his leg and leaving him trapped. He quickly learns that his fall was not an accident.

Talk after watching
- Lars is injured and alone in the forest. How would your family prepare for outdoor emergencies?
- Horror mixes survival suspense with slasher tropes. Why stay on marked trails in real life?
- The hunter treats people as prey. What does the film say about dehumanization?
