Sweatshop is a 2009 American horror film directed by Stacy Davidson and starring Ashley Kay, Melanie Donihoo, and Peyton Wetzel. It follows a group of early aged adults who are stalked and viciously murdered by a humongous welder with an equally massive sledgehammer and his two women followers after breaking into an abandoned factory to throw a rave in order to make profits off pimping out their friends.
Plot[]
Charlie and her friends break into an abandoned warehouse and begin setting up an impromptu party. Unbeknownst to them, something lurks in this dark place... a presence so horrific, so monstrous, it has no name. Fueled by uncontrollable, unprovoked rage, this Beast knows only one thing - Charlie and her companions chose the wrong building, and they're about to pay for it.
