A group of friends head to the lake to camp for the weekend, but get lost on the way. When they see a guy by the side of the road, they ask if he can knows the way. When he says yes, they ask him to hop in. After driving awhile, they ask if they are close and he says no, it’s still a couple hours away. No one is concerned as to why someone would get in their car to give directions, especially when it’s hours to the location.
When it starts getting dark, they randomly drive down a dirt road to find a place to camp for the night. The road leads to a huge house which appears to be abandoned, causing the driver to be extremely pleased with himself.
Across the yard, there is a crashed car that appears to be part of a monument. As if that isn’t creepy enough, Helen sees someone close one window. The rest of the group is skeptical and decide to check it out. It’s getting dark and everyone wants to stay except Helen, because she gets it. But no one will believe her and her boyfriend is unconcerned about her distress. So she heads back to town which is miles away while everyone else goes inside.
In the basement under the barn, they find some coffins. And in the house, they find the walls plastered with pictures of a woman. They also find scalps in a hidden room…. And they decide to stay. You’d think all of this, combined with the car crash monument and Helen seeing the window shut, would send them fleeing.
Horror movies have a surprisingly large number of people who believe that entering a house they don’t own is fine if they need somewhere to spend the night. And that’s where the trouble starts since the home owners or weirdos who hang out in abandoned places think it’s okay to kill trespassers. Watch for the scene near the end of the film where the character meets the killer upstairs but once she runs downstairs it’s daylight. That is one long staircase.
Dialogue from the boyfriend who doesn’t care about your feelings:
- Helen - This house scares me. I mean, just look at this place. Somethings wrong with it. Can’t you feel it? We can’t stay here. We just can’t stay here.
- Tony - Helen, you’re not making any sense.
