The human hunt begins next week.

Cineverse releases PITFALL on VOD and digital platforms June 30. Directed by James Kondelik from a script by Kondelik and Victor Rose, it stars Marshall Williams, Alexandra Essoe (STARRY EYES, DOCTOR SLEEP, MIDNIGHT MASS), Richard Harmon, Jordan Claire Robbins, Matt Hamilton and UFC champion Randy Couture. The synopsis: “Hunted, isolated, and forced to survive by a killer’s rules, a group of hikers must escape the maze before the final move is made. In PITFALL, a remote wilderness trip turns deadly when Scott falls into a concealed pit trap and is left badly injured. As the group searches for help, they discover the forest has been rigged with calculated traps by an unseen hunter who is watching, testing, and manipulating their every move. To survive, they must outsmart the predator before his twisted design claims them all.”
