A young girl holds a gun sniper rifle and squints down the sight.

If horror movie history has taught us anything, it’s that there’s nobody more equipped to take on a budding alien invasion than a plucky group of teens.

Set in the Inuit village of Canada’s Baffin Island (it’s the first feature ever to be filmed in the hamlet of Pangnirtung, Nunavut), Shudder‘s Slash/Back sees four Indigenous girls going up against an invading extraterrestrial force that appears to be getting its tendrils stuck into the local adult population.

Expect gore, jumps and one-liners aplenty from co-writer/director Nyla Innuksuk, whose debut feature premiered at South by Southwest Film Festival in March.

Slash/Back is coming to Shudder on Nov. 18.
