With the exception of Wonder Woman, the DC cinematic universe was pretty much trash. The Justice League film left a lot to be desired, and this certainly rings true for the Off Piste crew.

The horror genre tends to rack up a high body count of many unfortunate souls daft enough to get caught out alone in a dark corridor, or who think they can sneak away to bang without getting eviscerated.

Embrace the terror as returning guest James sees the Signs, Neil rises above automobiles and Luck rudely addresses some undead workers. Meanwhile, Axel reviews security footage and Kazuhiro makes a plea on live TV for the return of his son.
