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.

Forced to watch their connection bloom, Cheyann must confront her own buried emotions and decide if she is willing to fight for a "second chance" at love before he is gone for good.
