A straightforward slasher-thriller built on the collision of inheritance-seeking visitors with a deranged family in an isolated lakeside setting, emphasizing visceral threat and paranoia over psychological depth.

Three sisters and a group of their friends take a trip to the home of the recently deceased grandfather -- who died a particularly grisly death -- to learn more about the promise of an inheritance, only to encounter a family of psychos who have taken up residence in the old man's cabin.
