The movie opens up with a young couple running frantically through the woods. Something unseen is watching and chasing them. The girl can't go on. The man shows her a wooden box (apparently stolen) and says they will never have to work again. He opens the box and a force impales him against a tree. The girl is then attacked.
The movie then jumps to the reading of the will of Rebecca, who passes over her children and gives everything to her 3 grandchildren. Since they haven't come visit her they must spend that weekend at her home to get their inheritance and the granddaughter Elizabeth (Tara Carroll) gets the keys to "the wooden box." ooooh eeeeh oooooh!
The movie would be boring if the three kids just sat around so the two boys Jack and Ray decide to invite guests and throw a party to Elizabeth's dismay. The party moves out to the pool. Elizabeth espies some shadows moving about then... Bam! The next thing you know Elizabeth is sitting in a daze with undisclosed wounds as they are wheeling out dead bodies. The investigator asks questions. We now know how the film ends, everyone dead except for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth retells the story as the main part of the movie begins...Elizabeth discovers grandma collected various occult items while the guys pair off and go to their rooms with their girl friends including hot blond Colleen Shannon. Shadowy figures dart about out of the corner of the eye and in mirrors. In addition to well done shadows, there are other inexpensive subtleties, such as statues blinking. The movie soundtrack sounds like there are faint screams in the background. I appreciated these small details. The action and suspense build slowly, like it should.
The movie never explains how the Naibert surname has been passed down from one female generation to the next. The investigator mispronounces "prolific" and I don't know if that was intentional or a bad script read missed by the director. The ending was disappointing and anti-climatic.
Sex talk, sex, f-bomb, nudity
