Final Girl Series 1 - Slaughter in the Groves Feature Film Expansion

***IMPORTANT!*** This Feature Film box is not playable by itself and requires you to also own the Core Box.

Van Ryder Games Overview
Each year, thousands of tourists flock to the “Ancient Groves” in Africa to see ancient and beautiful settings, artifacts, and places of worship. Vacations turn to nightmare when the masked killer, Inkanyamba - The Avenger arrives to exact revenge on behalf of the gods in Slaughter In The Groves.

The result is a Feature Film where surviving the location itself can become nearly as important as surviving its killer.

Horror Movie Classification
Folk Horror / Mythological Creature Horror

Unlike many Final Girl Feature Films, Slaughter in the Groves does not appear to be modeled after one specific horror movie. Instead, it draws upon southern African mythology, particularly legends of the Inkanyamba, a great serpent-like creature associated with water and violent storms.

Its isolated setting, ancient supernatural forces, and theme of entering a place governed by powers beyond human control place it comfortably within the folk-horror tradition.

Closest Movie Comparison: The Ritual (2017)

While not a direct adaptation or parody, The Ritual offers a similar combination of isolation, ancient mythology, and the realization that something powerful already claims the territory you've entered.

For Horror Fans Who Enjoy:
