Urban Myth: Nest is a thrilling horror flick released in 2017, directed by Kim Marie and starring Shanley Caswell, Jeremy Chavarria, and Mike Hagerty. The movie tells the tale of a group of five friends who take a road trip to a remote cabin in the woods. They plan to spend a weekend in peace and solitude, far away from the city's hustle and bustle.

But their past soon catches up with them, and they realize that the cabin hides a dark secret. According to an urban legend, a bizarre creature, half-human and half-bird, wanders these woods, looking for prey to feed on. Initially, the group dismisses this legend as just another urban myth or tale, but things soon take a gruesome turn.

The group wakes up one morning to find one of their friends missing. Her body wasn't found until they finally noticed the attic of the cabin which was locked since they arrived. They conclude that this creature exists, and it's targeting them one by one. Amidst the fear, they come across the story of the cabin's previous tenants- all of whom went missing under similar circumstances. The group must now try and survive the creature while preserving their sanity.

The movie has a predominantly young adult cast, with the lead actress Shanley Caswell playing the part of a determined, resilient, and resourceful protagonist, Ally. She is the first among the group to suspect that something is amiss, and she takes upon herself to be the group's savior. Jeremy Chavarria portrays the character of Tyler, the jester of the group who would stop at nothing to make his friends laugh, even in the direst of situations. Mike Hagerty plays the role of the cabin caretaker, Frank, who comes off as a bit of creepy older man, with little regard for the youths' safety from the cabin's secrets.

The visuals and sound score of the film complement the eerie shots of the surroundings and the misshapen creature that lurks in the shadows. The director has done justice in building the tension and anticipation of the audience with the use of jump scares, eerie sounds, and unexpected twists.

Urban Myth: Nest is not just another teenage horror movie. It highlights the vitality of urban legends and how they are passed from generation to generation. It also shows the fragility of human lives and how quickly we are marginalized by forces beyond our control when trapped in vulnerable situations.

Overall, Urban Myth: Nest is an engaging horror flick that will leave you on the edge of your seat. With its captivating plot, talented cast, and skilled direction, the movie is sure to terrify and entertain you in equal parts.
