ROAR is a horror/thriller that explores the depths of perception verses reality. When Raymond Foust, a traumatized sole survivor of a plane crash into the Canadian forest of British Columbia, is plagued by nightmares of being attacked by a terrifying-otherworldly creature, he returns to the forest with his fiancée and members of his phobia support group to confront, what he believed to be, his irrational, unfounded fear of the forest. What he discovers, however, is his worst nightmare made real, as he and his group become the target of a merciless Beast, and all at once, truth and reality take a backseat to terror.
