A relentless, visceral descent into nightmare where ordinary young people are hunted by a deranged family in an isolated Texas house, creating sustained dread through suggestion and chaos rather than graphic display.

Five friends head out to rural Texas to visit the grave of a grandfather. On the way, they stumble across what appears to be a deserted house, only to discover something sinister within. Something armed with a chainsaw.
