'After Dusk They Come' (also known as 'The Tribe' and 'The Forgotten Ones') is a 2009 American horror/thriller film written and directed by Jorg Ihle and starring Jewel Staite.
Plot
A group of friends are marooned on an uncharted island after their sailboat crashes. They quickly become aware they are not alone, as they find themselves being killed off by a group of ancient humanoid creatures resembling humans and baboons. Liz, the sole survivor after having been captured, flees and is covered in multiple plants' sap as she barrels through the jungle, so when cornered by the Alpha of the pack she realizes the creatures are blind, hunting by smell and sound, which allows her to elude him by standing perfectly still while the plant sap obscures her scent. Later discovering that the creatures raided her friends' camp and stole their only life raft, she covers her entire body in the sap and sneaks into their lair. Setting off all her remaining flares when unable to remain hidden, she makes her escape and is caught by the Alpha in a clearing. Finding a machete left behind by one of the victims from a previous generation, she beheads the Alpha and is allowed to leave by the other creatures who acknowledge her as the new Alpha.
