Terror Trips (2021)

Dan and his business partner George start a company giving tours of locations where iconic horror movies were filmed. The tour culminates with showing the movie at night in the filming location.  They ask their friends to go as guests to give them feedback on their proposed ideas. 

One year later Terror Trips is a success and even has a sponsor.  They decide to expand the business to Europe and ask their friends to come on a trip to scout locations. Most are well known films,  but one is an old film no one has seen. They travel to Poland to find the location of the film about a town that suffered from  a wave of child kidnappings. It was supposedly based on an urban legend Soviets were using foreign agents to abduct children for experiments.

When they arrive in town, they meet Alex, who George had been corresponding with and who’s agreed to let them park their SUV in her garage while they go camping for a few days. When one of the group mentions they’re going to the location of the film, Alex’s mood changes. She warns them not to tell anyone because the movie destroyed the town. The town was going to expand their mill, but no one wanted to come to a town where kids are taken. Then she warns them they should leave now. No one listens. 

As they hike to the location, Ginny tells the others they should go back and leave town. The other trips have been fun, with no fear, but this feels different. The others override her and insist on continuing. Later that night around the fire, they decide Ginny is right. This visit feels wrong and they’ll head back first thing in the morning.  But when they awaken the next day, they discover Dan is missing.

They split up to search for Dan. When Molly finds his body, she freaks out, which is unfortunate because the people responsible see her.  Thus starts the chase where the killers go after Molly and try to track down the rest of the group.

Part of the dialogue is in Polish and there are no subtitles  At first I thought they were just going to say a few words and it wouldn’t matter. So I missed a bunch of dialogue because it took me far too long to realize I could turn on the subtitles on the streaming service.  It seems weird to not put subtitles on the film though. 

The only sensible character but she’s not great at hiding
