The Retreat

The Retreat follows a group of college students who travel to a cottage on an isolated island as a reward for their teamwork in research. They expect a weekend filled with fun and excitement, but their plans take a dark turn when a serial killer disrupts their retreat. The film combines elements of horror with familiar college themes, making it an interesting piece from the mid-2000s.

Directed by Matt Cantu, the film features a cast that includes Melissa Schuman, Scott Vickaryous, and Shanti Lowry.
