BIRDER

Directed by Nate Dushku | 90 min | United States

Rated 18+ Mature Audiences Only

A birdwatcher, Kristian Brooks, invades a nude queer campground on a remote lake in the New Hampshire wilds. He wears whatever he needs to ensnare the locals in his dark fetish in this nightmarish erotic thriller. Consent has never been more deadly. 

First-time feature director Nate Dushku (Mapplethorpe) has delivered a devilishly crowd-pleasing thriller filled with pitch-black humour, a breakthrough performance from lead actor Michael Emery, and a whole summer's worth of sex in the woods.
