Gemini said Death Breed (2021) Plot: This horror anthology brings together several legendary "icons" of the genre across three distinct tales of terror. The first, "Wolfsbayne," centers on a werewolf curse and features appearances by underground horror legends. The second, "Shudder," follows a group of people facing a mysterious and lethal threat, starring several original cast members from The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. The final story, "Old Habits Die Hard," focuses on a family of cannibals who lure unsuspecting travelers into their home, featuring Kane Hodder (famous for playing Jason Voorhees). While presented as a 2021 release, the film is largely an "opportunistic" compilation of highlights and segments from director Ben Dixon's earlier independent works.

The film explores the dark intersection of obsession, artistic perfection, and a desperate race against time.
