Released May 17th in the US.

Filmed entirely in Slovakia...

The story: Young, happy couple Maya and Ryan are on a road trip to Portland, Oregon.

After many hours of driving, they decide to get off the highway for a bite to eat.

But the exit isn't exactly tourist-friendly.

They travel on and on, passing through some really desolate wooded areas until they come to a sign that reads, Venus, with a very small population of around 400.

Quickly, they happen upon a quaint-looking diner and go right in.

The townspeople there seem friendly enough, but Maya and Ryan learn that the last stranger who landed in their town went missing...

Not giving any of it much thought, Maya and Ryan head out to their car only to find it will not start.

Conveniently enough, a mechanic shop is right across the street, and the mechanic is right there to lend a hand.

But the trouble cannot be fixed right away, and the couple will have to stay the night.

Even better still, there is no hotel nearby.

One of the waitresses on break from the diner offers help, mentioning an airb&b of sorts that they can stay at.

With no other choice at all, the couple decides to take up the offer.

Little do they know, they have a very long night ahead of them.
