Kristy
When a college girl who is alone on campus over the Thanksgiving
break is targeted by a group of outcasts, she must conquer her deepest fears to
outwit them and fight back. College girl Justine works hard to support herself at
Bryce College Aspen
The film opens with a hooded figure photographing a young woman’s
corpse in an empty field, followed by a montage of Internet screenshots and
video of women being killed in what appears to be ritual murders by a
cybercult, and footage of the murders being uploaded on an anonymous underground
website, where members are encouraged to “kill Kristy”, “Kristy” coming from a
Latin name meaning “follower of God.” College student Justine is attending a
private university in the Northeast on scholarship and financial aid, and is
unable to fly home for the Thanksgiving holiday. Her boyfriend Aaron and
wealthy roommate Nicole both leave for the holiday, leaving Justine to spend
the holiday in solitude on a nearly empty campus, aside from the security
guard, Wayne, and groundskeeper, Scott.
On Thanksgiving night, Justine uses Nicole’s BMW to drive to a
nearby convenience store off campus. Inside the store, a hooded girl, Violet,
approaches Justine, complimenting her car. At the counter, the girl asks for a
student discount on a pair of sunglasses, but has no ID. Justine offers to pay
for them, but the girl refuses and calls her “Kristy”. On the drive home,
Justine nearly rear ends a mysterious car parked in the middle of the road.
Upon returning to the campus, Justine calls Aaron and informs him of the strange
occurrence, and though he offers to come stay the night with her, she declines.
After falling asleep on a couch in the common room, she hears odd noises coming
from the direction of her dorm. Inside her dorm, Justine finds that someone has
accessed her laptop, as a snuff film plays on the screen. Violet appears in the
room with a box cutter in hand, and Justine flees to the entryway. Outside, Wayne
The four cult killers assemble, and Violet begins recording Justine,
telling her that they will hunt her and that she should “run to God”. Justine
flees to Scott’s house on the edge of the campus for help. Scott goes outside
to confront the assailants, but the killers murder his dog before hanging him
from a swing set in the yard. Justine attempts to call 911 from Scott’s cell
phone, but the gang has hacked into it. They begin sending Justine video clips
of her self on the phone and menacing text messages. Justine attempts to hide in
the library, but is chased to the roof of the building; cornered by the four
assailants, she leaps from the roof, falling through the branches of a tree
help break her fall.
Aaron arrives at the campus, and Justine struggles to run toward
his car, but he is killed by one of the men in front of her. She uses Aaron’s
car to pin the man against a concrete wall, crushing him to death. She then
retreats to the gymnasium where she hides in the swimming pool. She stabs one
of the men in the throat with her car keys before drowning him, and beats the other
man to death with a baseball bat inside the locker room. She hears a cell phone
alert from the dead man’s jacket, and reads a text message from Violet asking
if he’s “killed Kristy yet”. Justine responds “yes”. While accessing the killer’s
phone, Justine finds photos of the cult’s numerous victims, and their declaration
to kill the “Kristy’s” of the world – pure, beautiful, and privileged women who
they believe follow God.
Justine uses pool chemicals from a storage closet to make a
flammable powder. She then dresses herself in the dead man’s mask and jacket
and approaches the car where Violet is, dousing it in the powder. Violet
attempts to lash at her with a box cutter, but Justine ignites the powder, and
Violet is engulfed in the flames; Justine watches as she is burned alive. She
then photographs Violet’s corpse with the cell phone, and uploads it to the
website, entitled /the foldl. A montage at the end of the film narrated by news
footage reveals a series of similar cult murders had occurred in New York City,
Denver, Portland, Oregon, Kansas City, Dallas, Minneapolis and Atlanta, but
with Justine’s testimony and access to the phone, many of the cult’s members
have been arrested. A post-credits scene shows a young woman being attacked by another
cult killer outside her home.
Killer Party
In order to join a sorority, three friends go to a hazing party
in an old house where a sadistic bloodthirsty demonic spirit is lying in wait. Three
gorgeous babes decide to join a sorority and a whole bunch of horny guys dump
bees in the sorority’s back yard where a bunch of girls are naked in the outside
hot tub so when the girls jump out the boys use a video camera to take shots of
them. Their house mother gets talked into letting the girls have a hazing party
in a forbidden frat house, and when she goes there to make sure the place is
safe, she first stops at a handy grave in the front yard to explain to “Allan”
why she’s letting the girls use the house, and tells him it was all an accident
and it’s time for him to just let it go. Allan doesn’t answer her, since he’s
dead. Or is he? As she is nailing down a loose banister on the stairway, a
mysterious figure appears before her, brandishing what looks like a tire iron,
she turns, asks “What are you doing here?” and this person does answer her by
striking her dead. Well, the three pledges go through a hazing (and there are
some very nice set pieces here, watch for ‘em) and are accepted into the sorority.
One of the pledges is really good at special effects, horror stuff, and she is
told that the only reason that she was accepted was that skill – they want her
to gimmick up a traditional April Fools party that the sorority is hosting for
a fraternity. Twenty-two years ago, the boy in the grave was killed at one of
those parties by what everyone carefully refers to as an “accident.” The girls
talk about strange disappearances while they begin to set up the old house for
the party, and more strange things happen. Vivian, the special effects girl,
starts to pull off her stunts, but then really menacing things begin to happen.
Will the youngsters figure out what’s going on and who is doing it before they
are all horribly killed? Is it still safe for us to go out to parties, or
should we all be hiding under our computer desks?
Three friends, Vivia, Jennifer and Phoebe, decide to pledge a
sorority. The night of the initiation, Vivia (Sherry Willis-Burch) plays an
elaborate prank on the sorority sisters as the three girls are being initiated
through a hazing ritual. Subsequently, all three girls are chosen to join the
sorority, and Vivia learns that her prank was the only reason for her
acceptance. Now she must gimmick up a traditional April Fools party that the
sorority is hosting for a fraternity. The party is to be held at an old
abandoned frat house where a young man named Allen was killed 22 years prior.
Jennifer (Johnson) is bothered by this house, but Phoebe (Wilkes) and the guy
she is interested in (Hewitt) convince her to go along with the party plans.
Unfortunately for the friends and everyone else at the party, someone or something
else does not want anyone in the abandoned house.
Near the end, it’s revealed that Jennifer, who happens to be
possessed by the demon, tries to kill Phoebe and Viva with a trident, but they
escape upstairs and through a blocked window to the roof. Jennifer then appears
on the roof and attacks Vivia outside of the house, causing her to fall from the
roof. Phoebe saves Vivia by impaling the possessed Jennifer with a sharp piece of
wood through her chest, apparently killing both the girl and the demon.
However, the demon possesses Phoebe just before the police and ambulance
arrive. As the bodies are removed from the house, Vivia is placed on a
stretcher and taken to the ambulance where Phoebe is waiting, still under the demon’s
control. Vivia begs not to be put in the ambulance with Phoebe, but her screams
are ignored and the vehicle drives away.
Just Before Dawn
Five campers arrive in the mountains to examine some property
they have bought, but are warned by the Forest Ranger Roy McLean that a huge
machete-wielding maniac has been terrorizing the area. Ignoring the warnings,
they set up camp, and start disappearing one by one. If that sounds too
run-of-the-mill, there’s a genuinely shocking plot twist halfway through.
Two men are hunting in a forest and come across an abandoned church.
They go in to explore, and one of them receives a machete to the groin by a
laughing man wearing a checkered jacket, while the other, Ty, runs away
screaming. Next, we see park Ranger Roy McLean at his home, followed by a van
of five teenagers going camping, but becoming lost. McLean warns them not to
keep going the way they’re headed, but they ignore him. The five are: Warren,
the blonde, body builder; his girlfriend Constance, blonde girl; Jonathan, the goofy,
horny partygoer, his provocative girlfriend, Megan; and the nerdy camera
operator, Daniel. On their way to the campsite, they almost hit a frantic,
dirty Ty who tells them to drive away, but they do not listen and he runs into
the woods.
They finally find a campsite and begin to set up, drinking beer,
eating, and listening to music, not paying attention to anything around them.
When night falls they go to sleep, all the while being watched by something in
the woods. The next morning, they eat breakfast and go to the waterfall, where
they see a young girl named Merry Logan
When the group splits up to go exploring, Jonathan spots Merry
and chases her, asking what her name is and telling her he will not hurt her.
She thinks this is a game and runs out into a clearing where she sees something
horrible, backing up towards the trees. Jonathan figures it’s the roped
passageway over the river ahead, and begins to go across, but Merry runs and
gives chase, only to be hit in the hand with a machete by a deformed giggling
man in a checkered shirt. Jonathan runs to the other side, only to have the rope
break, almost plunging him to his death and the rapids below. As he begins to
climb up, he is greeted by the same man, who shoves him off to his death with
his boot.
Megan and Daniel have gone off to take pictures of the woods and
come across the church and a graveyard. Daniel breaks his glasses and sees a
figure coming through the woods, and thinks it’s Jonathan and tells Megan, who
decides to make it look like they’re making out. Daniel sees the figure approach,
and upon realizing it’s not Jonathan, pushes Megan out of the way and is
stabbed through the stomach with the machete. Megan sees the checkered shirt
killer and runs into the church, where she sees him outside picking up Daniel’s
camera. She turns around and is greeted by the same man and realizes that they’re
identical twins. He begins to chop her with the machete as the other takes
pictures through the window.
Meanwhile, Warren and Constance have met back at camp, but
cannot find anyone else, until they see spot Jonathan’s body floating in the river
and pull him out. They go to find the others but cannot find any trace of them
as night approaches, so they go back to get the keys from Jonathan’s body which
has disappeared.
Ty finally meets Roy and tells him all about the killer twins at
the church, and Roy goes out on his horse to find the teens, and comes across
Merry’s family, who consist of a crazy father and silent sister/mother. They
tell him that the twins were actually theirs and that their mother died after
having them, so he mated with his daughter and had Merry. Warren goes to find Jonathan’s
body to get the car keys and leaves Constance at the campfire, where she is attacked
by one of the twins who chases her up a tree. Warren finds Jonathan’s body
along with Daniel’s who is wearing sunglasses and gets the keys, running back
to camp with the Ranger. The twin cuts down the tree Constance is in, and is about
to kill her when Roy
At camp, the other twin stabs Warren
Two men Ty (Mike Kellin) and Vachel (Charles Bartlett) are
hunting in a forest and come across an abandoned church, which they go in to
explore. After Ty sees their truck being crashed into a tree, Vachel is stabbed
with a serrated machete by a chuckling assailant who dons Vachel’s hat and
jacket. Ty, seeing the murderer come out of the church, quietly flees off into
the forest. Meanwhile, Forest Ranger Roy McLean (George Kennedy) is at his
home, where he encounters a van of five college-aged adults heading to rural
property which one of them is has inherited. Despite his insistence that they
not venture up the mountain, the five continue along. Among them are Warren
(Gregg Henry); his girlfriend Constance (Deborah Benson); Jonathan (Chris
Lemmon) and his girlfriend, Megan (Jamie Rose); and Daniel, Jonathan’s brother (Ralph
Seymour).
On their way up the mountain, they hit a deer and encounter Ty
stumbling through the woods on his way down the mountain; they dismiss the
warnings of “demons” as he is visibly drunk. After reaching a point where the
van cannot drive any further, the group set out on foot and make a campsite; at
night, while around the fire, Constance, Megan and Daniel hear noises around
them and become frightened, only to find that Jonathan and Warren are playing a
joke on them. The next morning, they hike along Silver Creek to a waterfall,
where they see a young girl named Merry Cat Logan (Kati Powell) singing before
noticing their presence and running into the woods. Megan and Jonathan go
skinny dipping at the bottom of the falls, unaware that someone else has
entered the water. Megan feels hands touching her and assumes it’s Jonathan,
until she sees him on shore, whereupon she panics and swims to safety.
When the group splits up to go exploring, Jonathan spots Merry
and chases after her. She runs to a clearing but sees something that frightens
her and hides behind some trees. Jonathan assumes it’s the rope bridge over the
waterfall ahead and begins to go across, only to be confronted by the killer,
who cuts his hand with his machete. The killer severs the bridge and Jonathan
plummets into the water below. Unable to swim, he attempts to climb back up
over the ledge using the rope. When he reaches the ledge, the killer kicks him
in the face, and he falls to his demise. Meanwhile, Megan and Daniel are taking
photographs in the woods, and come across the church and a graveyard. Daniel,
who has lost his glasses, sees a figure coming through the woods, and thinks it’s
Jonathan. He and Megan pretend to kiss as a joke, but as the figure comes
closer, Daniel realizes it is not his brother. The figure stabs Daniel and
Megan flees into the church, where she watches through the window as the killer
investigates Daniel’s camera. Suddenly, another identical man emerges behind
her inside the church, realizing that the two are identical twins, she is
murdered in the church while the other twin photographs her death from outside
the window.
