He's whatever scares you the most.

A B-movie slasher built around a supernatural wooden mannequin that embodies whatever frightens its victims most, trading psychological depth for visceral scares and paranoid dread.

Richard, a college student who has decided to focus his attention on the study of fear, invites a group of friends up to his family's secluded mountain cabin for the weekend. Soon, a lifelike, wooden carving of a man begins stalking and killing them.
