As Corey's (Tyler Thirnbeck) is going to get married, his best friends
(Anthony Stratton, Hays McEachern, Michael Vlamis, Mitch Westphal, TJ
Morris) take him to a cabin in the middle of nowhere with a stripclub
nearby, for a night of drugs, booze and sex with strippers ... and the
next morning, Corey's gone. And unfortunately, his friends are way too
occupied with their own squabbles to properly go search for him. In fact,
only Ellis (Stratton) even makes an attempt - and he gets scared shitless
when back at the stripclub. And when he tells his weird story to his
friends, they are less than likely to believe him, plus everything is soon
overshadowed by a fall-out between him and Will (McEachern) over a woman -
and eventually, the whole party disperses, and that's when things really
start getting weird ... Now this is one weird movie for sure,
but deliciously weird at that, and weird more in the way of a David Lynch
than a run-of-the-mill horror movie, as this is a film that keeps you
guessing till the end and deliberately refuses to give all the answers,
putting an emphasis on atmosphere instead. And a slick yet subtle
directorial effort really helps to really bring the whole thing in all of
its oddness to life. Very interesting and rather unusual, to say the
least.
