Spoilers ahead
In the rain-soaked depths of the South American rainforest, a troubling legend seems to walk the land in a new, deadly form. Vampires, long whispered about in the jungle, are now openly attacking humans in packs—like roving dogs—and they move without fear of the sun. Knives and bullets barely slow them down, and their appetite for blood seems boundless. The military, convinced they are nothing more than tribal anomalies who believe in vampiric power, faces a stark reality: the threat is real, organized, and evolving.
