Sam's Lake (2005)

A group of friends take Sam to the lake to cheer her up because her father recently died. Oddly enough Sam seems fairly happy as opposed to Kate who is super mopey due to a recent break up.

The first night Sam, her friends, and an old acquaintance who lives at the lake sit around a campfire telling scary stories. Local legend has it that there was a teenager who escaped from an asylum, murdered his family, and was never caught. He is said to roam the woods to this day.

The abandoned house that they saw on the way to the cabin is the murder house. The group goes into the house and discovers an old journal which reveals the twist in the story and signals the start of the killings.

The movie is mostly talk and nothing much happens until the end. Also there is a generic warning from a local at the general store, but as in most horror movies, no one asks for explanation and ignores it.
