Synopsis/Details
Justin and Cora are exhausted from driving all night in search of their rental cottage. They are in the middle of nowhere.

Obviously, the biggest hurdle to production is the inclusion of bugs/creepy crawlies. Certainly, a clever filmmaker could find tricks to create the illusion of infestation. A creepy story and a great challenge.
