At a school dance in 1988, outcast Jeremy Melton asks four popular girls to dance. Three girls, Shelley, Lily and Paige reject him cruelly; with the fourth girl Kate kindly answering that perhaps she would later. Their friend Dorothy accepts Jeremy's invitation and they proceed to make out in privacy. When school bullies discover the two, Dorothy claims that Jeremy sexually assaulted her; causing the boys to taunt and severely beat Jeremy up publicly, his nose bleeding heavily. Years later, Shelley, a medical student; is at the morgue practicing for her medical exams. After receiving a vulgar Valentine's card and being pursued by a killer in a Cupid's mask, Shelley's throat is slit as she hides in a body bag. It is noticed that the killer's nose bleeds as he performs the act. Her friends are questioned at her funeral but nothing is concluded. All the girls except Kate and Paige receive cards in the same fashion as Shelley's and upon correspondence with the police; they guess that it could be Jeremy Melton. As the girls attend Lily's artist boyfriend's exhibit, Lily is isolated and confronted by the killer; who proceeds to shoot her repeatedly with arrows until she falls several floors into a dumpster. When they haven't heard from Lily, the others assume she is interstate on a work trip. As Valentine's Day approaches, Dorothy is planning a themed party at her house. Her boyfriend Campbell is also killed the day of the party as he relights the hot water. The others assume he has simply left Dorothy after freeloading off her; angering Dorothy, who believes they are jealous. At the party, Paige is killed when she is attacked and trapped in a hot tub. The killer precedes to try and kill her with a drill, after cutting her he lifts the lid off the hot tub and throws the electric drill in. As the party disintegrates when the power cuts out (due to Paige's electrocution), Dorothy and Kate argue over who the killer is. Kate claims that Campbell could be a suspect because they don't know anything about him; while Dorothy counters by accusing Kate's on-off recovering alcoholic boyfriend, Adam. After being told by Lily's boyfriend that Lily hadn't arrived in Los Angeles, Kate realises she too must be dead and calls the detective assigned to the case. She follows the sound of a ring tone outside the house and discovers the detectives severed head in the pond. Convinced that Adam is actually Jeremy disguised by reconstructive surgery (this is not possible as Adam has given no indication that he may be Jeremy) , Kate returns inside only to find Adam there. Disturbingly, he asks her to dance but, frightened, Kate knees him in the groin and escapes. Running through the house, she discovers multiple dead bodies. She locates a gun but the killer tackles Kate, knocking the gun from her hand and sending them both tumbling down a staircase. The killer arises and is shot by Adam, shocking and confusing Kate. As she apologies profusely, Adam pulls off the Cupid mask to reveal the killer as Dorothy. Adam forgives Kate, explaining that childhood trauma can lead to lifelong anger and some people are eventually forced to act on that anger. As Kate and Adam wait for the police to arrive, they hug as Adam says he's always loved her, moments later after she has fallen asleep on his chest while they are both sitting and waiting for the police to arrive his nose begins to bleed, indicating that he really is Jeremy Milton. We hear Kate's fateful screen as the movie ends. Thnx 4 reading!
Eleven years ago, a cave-in on the north side of a mine trapped six miners. Six weeks later when rescue teams arrived, they found five dead miners and Harry Warden (Richard John Walters) who survived by killing the other miners with a pick-axe, and is in a coma. Tom Hanniger (Jensen Ackles) is under suspicion to have committed the crime. Finally, he is blamed for the mine disaster because he forgot to vent the methane lines. The following year on Valentine's Day, Warden wakes up from his coma, killing many in the process. At the abandoned mineshaft that was the site of the disaster, a party is in full swing, attended by many teens, including Axel (Kerr Smith), his girlfriend Irene (Betsy Rue), Tom Hanniger, and his girlfriend, Sarah (Jaime King). Sarah goes in alone and gets lost looking for Axel and Irene. She runs across a teen and a few seconds later he is stabbed in the back of his head through his eye. She is confronted by Harry Warden in full miner's garb, carrying a bloody pick-axe, and flees for safety; Axel grabs her and they hide from the killer. He also kills someone with a shovel by cutting her head off in half via the jaw. He eventually sees them, and they run out of the mine, where they run into Tom coming in. The killer hits him with the pick axe, injuring him, while the other three run for the car and leave him behind. Tom runs back into the mine in an attempt to get away from the killer; just as he's about to be killed, the police arrive and shoot the killer, but he makes his getaway back into the mine. Ten years later, Tom's father, whom Tom was estranged from, dies and Tom inherits the mine. Tom then returns to town after his father's funeral to sell the mine. Axel is now sheriff and married to Sarah, however he is cheating on her with Megan who helps out his wife at her grocery store, who admits to Axel after they finish having sex, that she is pregnant with his child. In quick succession, Irene is murdered by Harry Warden at the motel where Tom is staying, then as Tom goes to check out his newly inherited mine, a miner is murdered. While in the mine, when Warden appears, Tom is forced into a cage and Warden bends the metal latch on the door; making Tom's escape impossible. Warden then brutally murders the miner who was accompanying Tom on his journey into the mine, as Tom is forced to watch. As the rest of the mining crew arrive to see what is the matter, Warden flees, and suspicion is cast on Tom; despite the fact that he was locked in a cage the entire time. Sheriff Axel then asks his father, the retired sheriff, what happened to Warden. He says that he and Tom's father killed and buried him. Axel, Tom, Sarah and Axel's father go to the spot where Warden was buried to see that his body is no longer there. Next, the current mine manager and Megan are killed by Warden. Tom picks Sarah up to take her to Axel's love nest to convince her that Axel is the killer. Axel then calls her and tells her that Tom is the killer. She crashes Tom's car and makes her way to Axel's shack. Sarah is chased by the killer all the way to the mine. There, Sarah goes into the shaft where the original murders took place, where she is joined by both Tom and Axel, and after a brief stand off, Axel and Sarah realize that Tom is delusional. A montage then plays out all the murders in the film again; this time showing the aftermath and beforehand, revealing Tom to be the killer. The killing in the mine in which Tom was locked in the cage, is played out again, this time showing Tom commit the murder, then lock himself in the cage; revealing Warden locking him in to be a hallucination. Sarah shoots a tank and causes an explosion, and subsequently a partial cave-in. She and Axel escape, believing and reporting Tom to be dead. A rescue team comes in to the mine to look for survivors, but Tom kills one of the rescuers and escapes the scene dressed in the rescue worker's clothing.
[edit] Production The film was shot in South Western Pennsylvania, taking advantage of the state's tax incentives for film productions as well as the topographical and architectural versatility of the Pittsburgh Metro area. Filming began on May 11, 2008 in Armstrong County along the Route 28 corridor, in locations including Sprankle's Market in Kittanning, the Ford City police station, and the exterior of the Logansport Mine in Bethel.[8] Kittanning served as main street in the film's fictional town of Harmony. The production spent 13 days filming scenes in the Tour-Ed Mines in the Pittsburgh suburb of Tarentum, a mine that has been out of production since the 1960s and now operates as a museum.[9] A house on Hulton Road in Oakmont, a suburb of Pittsburgh, was also used as a location.[10] The film was shot entirely digitally in 4K resolution. The filmmakers used the Red One from Red Digital Cinema Camera Company, and the SI-2K Digital Cinema Camera by Silicon Imaging as digital cameras. Max Penner, the film’s stereographer, found these lighter and smaller cameras easier to use.[11] Thnx 4 reading!
A Nightmare on Elm Street is an American horror franchise that consists of eight slasher films, a television show, novels, and comic books. The franchise began with the film series, which was created by Wes Craven, with various other individuals taking over those jobs for each film sequel. The franchise is based on the fictional character of Freddy Krueger, introduced in A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), who stalks and kills teenagers in their dreams; if Freddy kills the teenager in the dream world then they are ultimately killed in the real world. His motives were to seek revenge on their parents, who had burned him alive years before the events of the first Nightmare film. The original film was written and directed by Craven, who returned to co-script the second sequel, A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors (1987), and to write and direct New Nightmare (1994). The original film was released in 1984, and following it a series of sequels was produced by the independent film company New Line Cinema. New Line often attributes the growth of their company to the success of the Nightmare franchise.[2] The film series as a whole has received mixed reviews by critics, but has been a financial success at the box office. When comparing the United States box office grosses of other American horror film series, A Nightmare on Elm Street is the third highest grossing franchise in adjusted US dollars.[3] In 1988, a television series was produced with Freddy as the host. The pilot episode focused on the night Freddy was burned alive by the angry parents of the children he had killed, though the rest of the series featured episodes with independent plots. Twelve novels, separate from the adaptations of the films, and multiple comic book series were published featuring Freddy Krueger. Contents

Overview The original film, written and directed by Wes Craven and titled A Nightmare on Elm Street, was released in 1984. The story focuses on Freddy Krueger attacking Nancy Thompson (Heather Langenkamp) and her friends in their dreams, successfully killing all but Nancy, in a fictional town Springwood, Ohio. Krueger’s back-story is revealed by Nancy’s mother, Marge, who explains he was a child murderer whom the parents of Springwood killed after Krueger was acquitted of police charges on a technicality. Nancy defeats Freddy by pulling him from the dream world, into the real world, and strips him of his powers when she stops being afraid of him.[4] Freddy returns to attack the new family living in Nancy Thompson's house, the Walshs, in 1985's A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge. Freddy possesses the body of Jesse Walsh (Mark Patton), using him to kill. Jesse is saved by his girlfriend Lisa (Kim Myers), who helps Jesse fight, and break free from Krueger's spirit.[5] Wes Craven returned to give Freddy life for a second time in A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, released in 1987. In the second sequel, Freddy is systematically killing the last of the Elm Street children. The few remaining children have been placed in Westin Hills Mental Institution, for reasons of "attempted suicide". Nancy Thompson arrives at Westin Hills as a new intern, and realizes the children are being killed by Freddy. With the help of Dr. Neil Gordon (Craig Wasson), Nancy helps Kristen (Patricia Arquette), Joey (Rodney Eastman), Taryn (Jennifer Rubin), Kincaid (Ken Sagoes), and Will (Ira Heiden) find their dream powers, so they can kill Freddy once and for all. Neil, unknowingly until the end, meets the spirit of Freddy’s mother, Amanda Krueger (Nan Martin), who instructs him to bury Freddy’s remains in hallowed ground in order to stop him for good. Neil completes his task, but not before Freddy kills Nancy.[6] The story of Kristen Parker would continue with 1988's A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. This time, Kristen (Tuesday Knight) unwittingly releases Freddy, who immediately kills Kincaid and Joey. Before Freddy can kill Kristen, she transfers her dream powers to Alice (Lisa Wilcox), a friend from school. Alice begins inadvertently providing victims for Freddy when she begins pulling people into her dreams while she sleeps. Alice, who begins taking on traits of the friends who were murdered, confronts Freddy. She uses the power of the Dream Master to release all the souls Freddy has taken; they subsequently rip themselves from Freddy’s body, killing him in the process.[7] Picking up shortly after the events of The Dream Master, A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child involves Freddy using Alice’s unborn child, Jacob (Whitby Hertford), to resurrect himself and find new victims. The spirit of Amanda Krueger (Beatrice Boepple) returns, revealing that Freddy was conceived when she, a nun working in a mental asylum, was accidentally locked in a room with "100 maniacs" and raped "hundreds of times". Amanda Krueger convinces Jacob to use the powers he was given by Freddy against him, which gives her the chance to subdue Freddy long enough for Alice and Jacob to escape the dream world.[8] 1991's Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare followed the exploits of "John Doe" (Shon Greenblatt), an amnesiac teenager from Springwood, who was sent out to find Freddy's daughter Maggie (Lisa Zane), whom he needs to leave Springwood. Freddy's goal is to create new "Elm Streets", and begin a new killing spree after having killed all of the children in Springwood. Maggie, utilizing new dream techniques, uncovers Krueger’s past, which include: being taunted by schoolmates for being the "son of 100 maniacs", being cruel to animals, beaten by his stepfather, the murder of his own wife when she discovers he has been killing children, and the moment when the Dream Demons arrive in his boiler room to make him the offer of eternal life. Eventually, Maggie pulls Freddy out of the dream world, and uses a pipe bomb to blow him up.[9] Wes Craven returned to the Nightmare series a third time with New Nightmare in 1994. This film focuses on a fictional "reality", where Craven, Langenkamp, and Englund all play themselves, and where the character of Freddy Krueger is really an evil entity that has been trapped in the realm of fiction by all the movies that have been made. Since the movies have stopped, the entity, which likes being Freddy Krueger, is trying to escape into the real world. The only person in its way is Heather Langenkamp, whom the entity sees as "Nancy" — the first person who defeated him. Craven explains to Langenkamp the only way to keep the entity contained is for her to "play Nancy one last time". Langenkamp pursues "Krueger", who has kidnapped her son, into the dream world as "Nancy". There, she and her son trap Krueger in a furnace until he is finally destroyed.[10] In 2003, New Line pitted Friday the 13th's Jason Voorhees against Freddy Krueger. The film explains that Freddy Krueger has grown weak as people in Springwood, his home, have suppressed their fear of him. Freddy, who is impersonating Pamela Voorhees, the mother of Jason Voorhees, sends Jason (Ken Kirzinger) to Springwood to cause panic and fear. Jason accomplishes this, but refuses to stop killing. A battle ensues in both the dream world and Crystal Lake between the two villains. The winner is left ambiguous, as Jason surfaces from the lake holding Freddy's severed head, which winks and laughs.[11] Thnx 4 reading!
Through unexplained resurrection, the undead serial killer Jason Voorhees (Kane Hodder) is back at Crystal Lake and on the hunt again, but this time the brutal killer is on the wrong end of an FBI sting. As he's about to kill a woman (undercover FBI agent Elizabeth Marcus), the FBI springs a trap. After gunning him down, they launch an explosive, and Jason gets blown to pieces. His grisly remains are sent to a morgue, where the coroner (Richard Gant) is hypnotized by Jason's beating black heart and begins to eat it, causing himself to be possessed by the demonic spirit of Jason. He then proceeds to kill the Coroner's Assistant and a pair of FBI agents. As the dark spirit jumps from host to host via a demonic, snake-like creature, it is revealed by bounty hunter Creighton Duke that as through a Voorhees was Jason born, so too through one can he be reborn, and that only by the hands of another member of the Voorhees family can Jason finally be destroyed. This means that only members of his bloodline can kill him and he'll return to life if he's killed by someone outside of his family. The only relatives of Jason are his half-sister Diana Kimble (Erin h.appy- haha.), her daughter Jessica (Kari Keegan), and Stephanie, the infant daughter of Jessica and the main protagonist Steven Freeman (John D. LeMay). Jason kidnaps policeman Josh (Andrew Bloch) after killing three campers and his wife Edna, and takes him to the Voorhees house, where he shaves Josh and transfers his heart into his body. Jason makes his way to Diana's house. Diana shoots Jason in the head, but it is no use. Steven, having been asked to meet Diana at the house, bursts in and stabs Jason with a fireplace poker. Diana is killed with a knife sharpener and Jason escapes. Steven is falsely accused and arrested for Diana's murder. Duke reveals Jessica, the baby's mother and Steven's ex-girlfriend's relation to Jason, and Jason possessing anyone to get to Jessica or Stephanie. Steven escapes from jail, with the reluctant help of Officer Randy Parker (Kipp Marcus), a friend of Steven's. Meanwhile, Jessica is dating American Casefiles reporter Robert Campbell (Steven Culp). Steven goes to the Voorhees house, but falls through rotten boards. Robert comes inside the upstairs room, and reveals his plans to "spice up" Jason's unknown return from death with his theft of Diana's body from the morgue, also boasting about having *** with Jessica, telling his partner "I stole Diana's body from the morgue and then went home and fucked her daughter." Jason bursts in and transfers his heart into Robert. Josh, due to being possessed by Jason, melts into a puddle of flesh and blood. Jason leaves, with Steven in pursuit. Jason attempts to be reborn through Jessica at her mother's house, but is disrupted by Steven, who hits him and takes Jessica into his car. Steven runs over Jason, but obviously does no damage, other than to Robert's body. Jessica does not believe Steven and throws him out of the car. Jessica makes it to the police station, where she is dressed and comforted by Ed Landis, the town's sheriff and her mother's boyfriend, and the other cops present. Steven is told of Jessica's location and asks Randy to arrest him after a scuffle and gun draw between the two. Jason barges into the station, throws Officer Landis, and kills three others, two of them by head bashing. Steven and Jessica, Jessica now believing Steven and Duke's story, run to Joey B. (Rusty Schwimmer)'s diner to grab the baby, but are held at gunpoint by Joey, who still believes Steven to be guilty of Diana's murder. Duke, in the meantime has escaped and takes the baby from the back of the greasy spoon. Jason kills Joey's son Ward, and comes into the diner. One innocent patron is killed, accidentally shot by Vicki when trying to shoot Robert. Joey's husband and cook, Shelby (Leslie Jordan) attempts to kill Jason by shooting him, as do Joey and Jessica's waitress friend Vicki (Allison Smith) with guns. Shelby is scalded to death in a fat-fryer by Jason and left to sizzle on the hot griddle. Joey hits him on the back, and in return Jason elbows her in the face, literally bashing her face in and knocking a dent in her mouth. Vicki seemingly manages to defeat Jason with a barbecue skewer; Jason is not dead, however, and kills Vickie with the barbecue skewer. Jessica meets up with Duke at the Voorhees house, who is holding her baby. An unseen officer makes his way into the diner, discovering the bodies, except for Robert's, which (possessed) leaps from the closet, and transfers his heart into the unseen officer's body (offscreen). Duke falls through the floor, and Jessica is confronted by Landis and Randy, who both survived, but one of them is possessed. Landis accidentally stabs himself with the magic dagger, which can be used by a Voorhees woman to send Jason to Hell and Jessica drops the dagger. Randy, being the officer possessed, attempts to be reborn through Stephanie, but Randy's neck is severed with a machete by Steven. Jason's heart, which has now grown into a demonic infant, crawls out of Randy's neck, and makes its way into the basement, where it crawls into Diana's dead ovaries. Jason is reborn (complete with worksuit and hockey mask) and kills Duke, by crushing his back in a bearhug. Steven fights Jason, suffering multiple shovel hits and being thrown into a metal scaffolding structure. And as Jason is about to kill Steven, Jason is stabbed through the heart, releasing the tortured soul that Jason has accumulated throughout his massive killing spree. Giant hands pull the dying, struggling Jason down into the depths of hell. The film ends with Steven and Jessica kissing and mending their relationship, along with baby walking into the sunrise, and after Jason is defeated, Freddy Krueger's clawed glove grabs Jason's mask, and takes it to Hell, laughing maniacally in the way that only Freddy Krueger can.

In the year 1999, Ten years have passed since the previous sequel, and Freddy Krueger (Robert Englund) has returned and succeeded in killing nearly all of the children in the town of Springwood, Ohio (excluding Alice Johnson, from the previous film). The only surviving teenager, known only as "John Doe" (Shon Greenblatt) throughout the film, finds himself confronted by Freddy in a dream and is knocked past the town of Springwood's city limits by Freddy. The city limits serve as a barrier that Freddy cannot cross, and the hole John makes when he goes through the barrier closes as soon as Freddy touches it. However, when John goes through the barrier, he hits his head on a rock and does not remember who he is or why he is outside of Springwood. Meanwhile, at a shelter for troubled youth, Spencer (Breckin Meyer), Carlos (Ricky Dean Logan) and Tracy (Lezlie Deane) plot to run away from the shelter. Carlos was physically abused by his mother, Tracy was sexually abused by her father, and Spencer simply does not want to conform to his father's overbearing lifestyle. John, after being picked up by the police, becomes a resident of the shelter and a patient of Dr. Maggie Burroughs (Lisa Zane). Maggie notices a newspaper clipping in John's pocket from Springwood. In an effort to cure John's amnesia, she decides it would be best to go on a road trip to Springwood to jog his memory. Tracy, Carlos, and Spencer stow away in the van in their effort to escape the shelter, but are discovered when John has a hallucination and almost wrecks the van just outside Springwood. After encountering the unstable adult inhabitants of Springwood, Maggie and John find out that Freddy Krueger had a child that was taken away from him, and this was the reason he went on his murderous rampage. John begins to suspect that he is Freddy's child, which to him, would explain why he has not been hurt. Meanwhile, Tracy, Spencer, and Carlos, after unsuccessfully trying to leave Springwood, decide to rest at a nearby abandoned house, which transforms into 1428 Elm Street (Nancy Thompson's/Jesse Walsh's former home). Carlos and Spencer fall asleep and become prey to Freddy. Tracy is awakened by Maggie, but John, who went into the dream world with Tracy to try to help Spencer, is still asleep. Maggie and Tracy decide to take him back to the shelter. Freddy reveals to John that he was using him to get to his daughter, and then impales John on a bed of spikes. Before he dies, John tells Maggie that Freddy's child was not a boy. Freddy possesses Maggie as she and Tracy flee the town, and when Maggie and Tracy cross the Springwood town limit, the supernatural barrier shatters. Tracy and Maggie return to the shelter, but they discover that no one remembers John, Spencer, or Carlos except for Doc (Yaphet Kotto), who has learned to control his dreams. Maggie remembers what John told her and discovers her own adoption papers. That night, she falls asleep and encounters Freddy. He tells her that she is really Katherine Krueger, Freddy's daughter. He explains to her that he used her to escape Springwood and now wants to start his killing spree in a new town. Doc discovers Freddy's power comes from the "dream demons" who continually revive him, and that Freddy can be killed if he's pulled into the real world. Maggie decides that she will be the one to enter Freddy's mind and pull him into the real world. Once in the dream world, she puts on a pair of 3-D glasses – the theatrical version of the film was in 3D during the climax – and goes into Freddy's mind. There, she finds out that Freddy was teased as a child, abused by his foster father (Alice Cooper), inflicted self-abuse as a teenager (Tobe Sexton), and murdered his wife, Loretta Krueger (Lindsey Fields), in front of his own daughter. While being burned from Molotov cocktails thrown upon him by angry parents, Freddy was given the power to become immortal from fiery demons. After some struggling, Maggie manages to pull Freddy into the real world. Both Maggie and Freddy end up in hand-to-hand combat against one another after Freddy tries to earn Maggie's sympathy. While Maggie continues to battle Freddy she uses several weapons confiscated from patients at the shelter. Enraged by the knowledge of what he has done, she disarms him of his clawed glove to which he responds "Go on put it on, it's in your blood!" Eventually, Maggie stabs Freddy in the stomach with his own glove while she is close to him. Doc then throws Maggie a pipe bomb. After she impales Freddy to a steel support beam she throws the bomb in his chest. Just prior to Freddy's death Maggie plants a quick kiss on him, saying "Happy Father's Day". As she runs away from the impending explosion, Freddy looks into the camera and says "Kids". after which he explodes. The three dream demons are then seen flying out of Freddy after the pipe bomb kills him, unable to revive him in the real world. Maggie manages to evade the blast and delivers the final line of the film: "Freddy's dead." Thnx 4 reading!

Ben and his new bride Jane leave New York for Tokyo, Japan, where Ben has a job as a photographer. While traveling, Jane hits a girl in the middle of the wilderness, wearing a thin dress, despite the cold and snow, running over her with both wheels into a ditch. After regaining consciousness, they find there was no body or even a trace of blood on both the car and road, and decide to leave, thinking the victim was alright. They later start to find mysterious lights in their photos, which was later identified as spirit photography by Ben's assistant Seiko Nakamura. Jane begins to have eerie dreams and visions as if they are trying to tell her something, and finds a mysterious haunting presence stalking them. Ben begins to complain of severe shoulder pain, and his friends begin to comment he's looking bent and hunched over, though the doctor he goes to see can find no cause. Seiko takes Jane to her ex-boyfriend, Ritsuo, whose career is to investigate paranormal, says that the lights are spirits, manifestations of intense emotions trying to communicate. At a subway station, Jane spots the ghostly presence was the girl she hit, causing her to believe that she killed someone. Ben's later also have a similar terrifying encounter in his dark room. They then go to a psychic, Murase; however, Ben refuses to translate what Murase says, claiming he is a fraud. Later on Jane decides to visit the office building in one of the photos. When she gets there, she goes to the floor where the light has gathered, and takes pictures in the empty office. She encounters the yūrei, and learns that the girl's name was Megumi Tanaka and that Ben knew her. When she confronts Ben about it, he admits that he and Megumi were once involved in a relationship, but that after the death of her father, she became very obsessive and clingy, and eventually he dumped her, with help from his two friends. Ben's friends, Adam and Bruno, are killed by Megumi. Adam's eye is torn out while shooting pictures and he dies from shock; Bruno commits suicide by jumping from his apartment in a state of shock and undress, suggesting that he has been sexually violated. After watching Bruno jump from the building they go back to their apartment. Ben wants to leave but Jane says "We're not going anywhere" and hands Ben their wedding photo in which the right hand side shows a distorted picture of Megumi. They realize she's been with them the entire time and what happened on the road was meant for their attentions. They go to Megumi's home, only to find her decayed body; she had committed suicide with potassium cyanide long before the car impact. That night Ben is tortured by Megumi. She appears in different places around the room and climbs onto the bed, straddling Ben and takes off her dress, throwing it on his face. She then precedes to follow him around the room where she then attempts to choke him while kissing him. Jane wakes up and screams at Megumi to leave Ben and her alone after watching flies come out of his mouth, choking him. Megumi's shadow appears behind her against the fluttering window curtains and she is wrapped up in the curtains and pushed against the window where her head cracks the glass, and screams "He left you because he never loved you" which then breaks it and throws her back on the bed. Megumi stops, leaving Ben alive. After Megumi's funeral, Ben and Jane return to New York, thinking it's all over. However, Jane finds some recent photos in an envelope which still show Megumi, who is shown crawling toward a picture of Jane hanging on the wall. She goes into the room behind the picture and finds a camera in a trunk and after uploading the simcard into the laptop sees more photos, taken by Ben, showing Adam and Bruno raping Megumi, while Ben did nothing but watch them doing the deed. After this discovery, Ben returns home, where he tries to explain he felt it was the only way to drive Megumi away, as nothing else was working. They'd used some pills and had planned on using the pictures as blackmail against Megumi if she didn't leave him alone but it turned into rape. This explains why Ben didn't want to translate what the psychic said earlier in the film and why Megumi murdered Adam and Bruno, as Ben knew this is about revenge against all three of them. Realizing that Megumi was trying to warn her and disgusted by Ben's past actions, Jane leaves. Angered and apparently driven mad by Jane's departure, Ben begins photographing the apartment with his Polaroid camera looking for Megumi for confrontation. After throwing the camera across the room, it takes a picture of him, showing Megumi sitting astride his shoulders. Remembering in the hospital where a nurse is weighing Ben, showing a weight of 275 lbs, the weight of two people, as well as the mysterious shoulder pains, made him realize that Megumi has been with him all along since her suicide without his knowledge. Horrified, and in an effort to rid himself of her, he electrocutes himself. He is rendered completely catatonic and sent to a mental institution. The last scene is a reflection of the glass from the door, showing Megumi still draped across him. Thnx 4 reading! Message me if you have a favorite horror movie!

Rob gets back in his car and chases the semi to get his plates. The driver ends up cornering Rob and then taking off back down the hill. When Rob gets back to where the others are the driver of the Jeep says that the semi driver took Shelby and the original girl from the truck. They get in the guy's Jeep and chase down the semi to an old house. The driver of the Jeep says he wants to go first (to try and stop the semi driver). Rob waits in the Jeep. Suddenly he hears a noise. He finds a cb-radio in the center console. Then he hears more noise. He looks in the back and sees movement under a tarp. He moves the tarp and sees both girls tied up. Suddenly the driver of the Jeep comes back (after bashing in the skull of the semi driver). He breaks the window of the Jeep to attack Rob. The next scene you see a girl named Tabitha. Her aunt had just bought a new house. She goes to the house and finds her aunt's two sons. Soon, Tabitha is wondering about the babysitter that was there. She asks the boys if they had seen her. They say that she had already left. Tabitha, in disbelief, walks upstairs after hearing a noise. She enters the play room and a motion senser clown scares her. Soon, once the boys are in bed, she hears a knock on the door. She heads over to see who it is, and she does not know as the person is wearing a raincoat and a hood on. She opens the door and asks who he is. He said that he was looking for the babysitter, and that she missed cheerleading practice. Tabitha admits that the babysitter had already left, and that she heard nothing esle. After that, Tabitha walks into the guest room and sees that the entire room is decorated with clown toys. She looks around and sees a life-size one that she finds a bit scary. When she goes to bed, the thunderstorm woke her up. She turns around so she will not be able to see the big clown. After she turned around, the clown's head then turns his head to see her. In the middle of the night, the phone started to ring. Not knowing that the clown is still staring at her, Tabitha walked into the hallway to answer the phonecall. She realized that it was her aunt, checking on the children. After they were done talking about the boys, she then admits that she is a bit spooked by the clown. She told her aunt that it was the big one, but her aunt states that she does not own any big clowns. Tabitha looks in the room and only sees the empty rocking chair moving. She runs into the boys' room and locks it, whispering to them to wake them up. She says that they have to hide, as a very bad man is in the house. The boys say that it is just Owen, the boy in the raincoat, wanting to play. They reach for the doorknob, and Tabitha yells at them. Soon, spikes go through the door several times. Tabitha realizes that it is the clown, while the boys are screaming. She pulls their dresser against the door, and gets the boys out of the window and tells them to go to their neighbor's house to go and get help. The clown breaks the dresser and reaches out for Tabitha. She then throws a lamp at him and climbs out of the window. The clown stands up and fails his attempt to stab her, as she let go. She fell down and ran into the shed, opening a closet in there and finding the babysitter's dead body. As the dead body falls ontop of her the man with the clown mask enters the room with a knife and the scene ends. Next scene you see Tabitha in a police interrogation room. A therapist comes in to talk to her. She asks her about her friend Lisa. Tabitha then starts having flashbacks. She flashes back to memories of her 2 friends Shelby and Lisa when they were all kids. All of the girls had cerated art in a shoebox with a peephole to see. Tabitha's was a room of clowns, Shelby's was a highway, and Lisa's was a sleepover. Tabitha, in real life, finds out that the killer was in a disguise similar to her art. Continuing the flashback, Tabitha looks at the boy's art, and sees a rat being chained up, with his skin open. She states that it is not funny. Then it flashes to the present. Lisa is with her boyfriend looking for her roommate Cat who has suddenly disappeared. They go to an old hotel that Lisa might be at. Lisa tries to get in, but the man says that the beds are full, and shuts the peephole. She then goes to her boyfriend and asks if he can make up something to get in. He says that he is a health inspector. He then goes in the place and finds a music player. The man says that there is a surprise in the end, which is a knife flying out of the speakers, stabbing her boyfriend in the eye. Lisa impatiently sneaks in the house and goes in a room with beds. She finds dead bodies in them, including Cat, and then the killer comes upstairs and does the same to her. Again at the police station Tabitha is being grilled by the therapist. The woman asks Tabitha about her friend Shelby. Tabitha says that they were all friends. The therapist then tells her about a boy she had as a patient. Before she walks out she tells Tabitha that Lisa and Shelby are at the station, too, and to sit tight because she will be back for them. The door suddenly opens. When Tabitha walks outside the room she realizes that she is not at the police station afterall. At the end of the hallway she sees the therapist on the floor. She approaches the body when she sees an officer approaching, too. That's when she sees that he's not a cop, he's really the killer. He chases her around the basement. Eventually she's pinned in between 2 glass walls. When the lights come on behind the glass walls she sees Lisa and Shelby chained up. Eventually she's able to help them break free. They try to make a run for it together. Before they get far, the killer stabs Lisa. Tabitha and Shelby run for it. They begin climbing a ladder as the killer chases them. He climbs up behind them and grabs a hold of Shelby. Both he and Shelby fall back down to the basement floor. Tabitha continues to climb. Once at ground level she sees she's in a caged area. Suddenly an elevator comes on and she realizes the killer is coming up. She hides in what she thinks is a closet. The killer looks through a peep hole at her and then locks her in the room. Suddenly the room starts to move and she realizes she's in the back of a truck. The truck doesn't make it far from the house (which is the same house from the beginning of the movie). Tabitha grabs one of the spiked handles that the killer had used in the house she was babysitting in. When he looks through the peep hole again she stabs him in the eye. Then you see the truck driving away and hear Tabitha's voice talking about how she and her friends had laughed at him when they were a kid. And she says that even though it's all over she still can't get his voice out of her head. Thnx 4 reading!

After settling their affairs, Emma (Monica Potter), John (Tony Goldwyn), and Mari Collingwood (Sara Paxton) head out on vacation to their lake house. Shortly after arriving, Mari borrows the family car and drives into town to spend time with her friend Paige (Martha MacIsaac). While Paige works the cash register at a local store, she and Mari meet Justin (Spencer Treat Clark), a teenager passing through the town who invites them both back to his hotel room to smoke some weed. While the three are hanging out in the hotel room, Krug (Garret Dillahunt), Justin’s father, Francis (Aaron Paul), Justin’s uncle, and Sadie (Riki Lindhome), Krug’s girlfriend, arrive. Krug shows Justin a local newspaper that has Krug’s and Sadie’s pictures on the front page, and which explains how Sadie and Francis broke Krug out of police custody and killed the two officers that were transporting him. Believing it too risky to let Paige and Mari go, Krug kidnaps them and uses their vehicle to leave town. While Krug searches for the highway, Mari convinces him to take a road that leads him to her parent’s lake house; Mari then attempts to jump out of the vehicle, but the ensuing fight amongst all the passengers causes Krug to crash into a tree. Frustrated by Mari’s attempts to escape, Sadie and Francis proceed to beat Mari as she crawls away from the wreckage. Krug attempts to teach his son to "be a man" by forcing him to fondle Mari’s breasts. When Justin refuses Krug decides to rape Mari. Paige begins insulting him to get him to stop, which causes Krug to pause momentarily only to stab Paige in the stomach twice. As Mari watches Paige bleed to death she is raped by Krug. Afterward, Mari musters enough strength to escape the group and make it to the lake so that she can swim to safety. Before she can swim far enough Krug shoots her in the back, leaving her to bleed out in the lake. A storm forces Krug and his gang to seek refuge with John and Emma, whose home is nearby. Justin realizes that they are Mari’s parents, and intentionally leaves a necklace Mari was wearing on the counter to alert them about their daughter. When John and Emma find Mari, barely alive, on their porch, along with the necklace from the counter, they realize that the people who did this to Mari are in their home. As they try and find the key to their boat, so that they can take Mari to the hospital, they decide to get revenge on those responsible. When Francis happens upon Mari’s body he is attacked and killed by John and Emma. When the couple go after Krug and Sadie they find Justin in possession of Krug’s gun; Justin gives the gun to John so he can kill Krug. Sadie awakens and interrupts John, allowing Krug the chance to escape the couple where he pieces together that they are Mari’s parents. After Emma shoots Sadie in the head, John runs after Krug. With a combined effort from Emma, John, and Justin, Krug is knocked unconscious. John paralyzes Krug from the neck down, and leaves him to die with his head in an active microwave; then he, Emma, Mari, and Justin take the boat to the local hospital. Thnx 4 reading!
