A routine prison transfer becomes a total nightmare in horror “Ditched”

The instinct and need to survival when you are in a deadly situation is something we have witnessed in movies our entire life but we have rarely experienced in our own flesh and bones. Ditched (2021) is another horror-thriller film where the protagonists must fight for their lives in a situation no one can be ready for.

After a routine prison transfer crashes in the forest, young Inuit paramedic Melina finds herself surrounded by murderers with a mere 100 feet to climb out of a ditch to escape. When they are attacked by an unseen force in the forest, Melina’s short journey to safety becomes the ultimate contest of wills.
