When a highly dangerous fungus escapes from a secret laboratory, a former bioterrorism agent is called back into action. Alongside two young employees, he must confront an invisible and out-of-control threat.
Teacake and Naomi, two young employees of a self-storage company built on the site of an old US military base, have their wildest night shift ever when a parasitic fungus escapes from the lowest sublevel of the base, where it was sealed by the government decades before. As the temperature rises underground, this highly contagious microorganism multiplies and unleashes its terrors on the facility's inhabitants - human and otherwise. With time running out, it's down to Teacake and Naomi, with the help of a grizzled bioterror operative, to contain the rapidly mutating menace and prevent the explosive extinction of Mankind itself. — STUDIOCANAL

Fun Facts
Jonny Campbell (Stan & Ollie) directs Joe Keery as nervous night guard Travis "Teacake" Meacham alongside Georgina Campbell's Naomi Williams, whose budding flirtation erupts into survival chaos when rising underground temperatures thaw a government-sealed parasitic fungus causing explosive body horror.
Practical effects dominate the gore, with the fungus's rapid spread visualized through prosthetic body-bursts and squibs; principal photography wrapped early 2025 in the UK, leveraging closed sets to capture the single-location intensity akin to Koepp's Premium Rush.
Trailers emphasize the tagline "If it spreads, you're dead," blending B-movie thrills with Koepp's signature ticking-clock suspense; early screenings praise the young leads' chemistry and Neeson's authoritative grit, marking Campbell's third genre lead after Barbarian and Smile 2.
