Three strangers arrive one by one to a mysterious cabin in the
middle of nowhere. They don't know each other and they have never met
before but each has experienced a recent life-altering event. Jody
and her boyfriend Kevin rob a convenience store. Jody holds a gun to
the cashier's head and she demands that he open the safe. He tells her
that he will do so but he doesn't believe she can handle what is
inside? She shoots him and in the next instant she is at the cabin?
She learns that Tom was the first person to arrive and he had a car
accident. Also, at the cabin is
Samantha, she was with her husband and the car ran out of gas. He went
to get gas but he hasn't come back? The three people start to get on each other's nerves!!
Then they learn that Samantha thinks it is 1962, Jody thinks it is 1985
and Tom thinks it is 2011. They walk for a long distance to get away
from the cabin but soon they realize they are right back at the cabin? As
they are trying to figure out what is going on, they see someone
outside? It is Hans and he is a German soldier. He thinks WWII is
still going on and he wants to kill the other three people!! Samantha
can speak some German and they begin to sort out what is really going
on.
It took me a while to
understand the most important point of this film. It’s probably better if you figure it out as you go along
like the characters are doing.
Even though some of the reviews below refer to this as a horror movie, I
didn’t find that to be the genre?
I would say it is more of a psychological thriller. 3 ½* (I liked this movie)
90
min, mystery directed by Jack Heller with Katherine Waterston, Scott
Eastwood, Sara Paxton, Shaun Sipos, Christopher Denham, Jesse Perez,
Leigh Lezark, Vic Finalborgo.
