Shortly after a family arrives at their rental cabin, they hear someone trying to open the front door and discover a group of friends who say they also rented the cabin. There’s no cell reception so they can’t call the owner. The family generously - and foolishly - offers to let the five strangers stay the night and sort it out the next day.
Their teenage son goes off exploring and finds a plaque in the woods about demons. He decides this would be the perfect spot to set off firecrackers. Before the smoker has every cleared demons rise out of the earth, where they appear to be buried just under the top soil.
The teen manages to escape back to the cabin and tells his parents demons are trying to kill him. They don’t believe him. Unless he normally comes home sobbing in fear and talking about demons, they may want to be concerned about what happened to him.
The next morning at breakfast, the kid brings up demons and his parents dismiss him again. The other group doesn’t bat an eye at the demon talk, even though yesterday they asked for directions, and a creepy stranger warned them the woods were full of demons and they’d die if they went there.
When some of them attempt to head into town to contact the cabin owner, they discover their cars won’t start. Shortly after arriving back at the cabin, a demon gets in the front door. They manage to tie him up. Hurrah! Stupidly they keep the demon inside, leaving the viewer to wonder how quickly the demon will get loose and do more damage with his demon friends.
This movie has a lot of padding, as well as awkwardly shot, unflattering close ups of peoples faces. The characters are incredibly inefficient at keeping the demons out of the house, and everyone openly laughs in the face of the crazy lady who warns them there are demons in the woods.

| Is this too close? |
 |
| An even more awkward close up |
 |
| The door to the cabin is cool, but you have to duck to go in |
 |
| Do not laugh at crazy people |
 |
| Nothing could possible go wrong if we laugh at her |

| Another car full of lost tourists laughing at the crazy lady |
