💎💎UNHINGED💎💎 – The Nightmare Begins When You Wake Up. College students, Terry, Nancy and Gloria are on their way to a rock concert, driving through a torrential rainstorm… only to crash their car, badly injuring one of them. Seeking shelter and aid they come across a house occupied by a man-hating mother and her daughter… our trio soon wishes they hadn’t. The film appeared on the list of the United Kingdom’s 72 “video nasties,” which led to an expanded role for the British Board of Film Classification. A remake was made in England and released in 2017. The film follows three young women who are taken in by a mysterious family at their rural mansion after getting into a car accident. Three female college students, Terry, Nancy and Gloria, embark for a music festival in rural Oregon. A sudden storm causes Nancy to accidentally crash the car, rendering all three unconscious. Terry awakens to find her and her friends alive, sheltered in a large mansion in the middle of nowhere, owned by the Penroses: The middle-aged Marion, her mother and their groundskeeper, Norman. Gloria is the only one with serious injuries, so Marion suggests they spend the night until Gloria is able to leave. Terry and Nancy are invited to dinner with Marion and her embittered and elderly crippled mother. Throughout dinner, Marion’s mother rants and raves about her disgust towards men and how her husband left her for another woman. She also recurrently accuses Marion of bringing men into the home. Later, in a music room, a mysterious man looks menacingly into the windows at the women. Later that night, Terry finds a human booth under her bed and later awakes to hear a man breathing heavily upstairs, as though he is masturbating. The next morning, Terry and Nancy take a shower, while someone watches through a peephole in the wall. That morning, Nancy sets off through the woods to reach the town. When she arrives at a rural country road, she is attacked by an unknown figure with a long scythe, who slashes her to death. That evening at dinner, Mrs. Penrose’s divulges her views on me and her daughter, while Terry worries about Nancy’s disappearance. That night, Terry once again hears the breathing and goes to investigate. She uncovers the attic, where she finds black and white pictures of two children and an old tool belt with a dusty gun and machete. She goes back downstairs and sees the man staring in at her through the window and runs screaming through the house. Marion calms her down and reveals to her that the man is Carl, her developmentally-disabled younger brother. She insists that he is harmless and Terry goes back to bed. The next day, Terry goes outside to talk to Norman and asks he has seen Nancy. Norman reveals that he never spoke with her and instead tells her a confusing story about two girls disappearing in the woods. At nightfall, Gloria regains consciousness and Terry tells her she feels the two need to leave as soon as possible. Terry leaves the room and an unseen figure attacks Gloria, plunging an axe through her head. Later in the evening, Terry finds Gloria’s room empty and asks Marion where she is. Marion suggests she may have gone outside for a breath of fresh air. As she steps outside, Terry is attacked and chased by Carl. She hides in a shed, where she discovers the dead bodies of her friends along with several other dismembered corpses. Carl breaks through the window and tries to grab her, but she manages to escape from the shed and runs back to the house as Carl chases after her.
Hurrying into the attic, Terry takes out the gun and shoots Carl in the head, killing him. Marion rushes upstairs after hearing the noises and chastises Terry for killing her brother. Terry responds by ordering Marion to look at the bodies in the shed. After a moment of silence, Marion, speaking with in a deep, masculine register, tells her that Carl had nothing to do with what happened in the shed. Terry looks in confusion at Marion, who pulls out a machete. Marion reveals that he is actually Mrs. Penrose’s secondary son and Carl’s younger brother, who dresses and presents as a woman. Terry attempts to flee, but Marion knocks her to the ground and manically stabs her to death whilst raving about the pressures of pretending to be a woman and taking care of his brother and mother. As Terry bleeds to death on the floor, Mrs. Penrose calls for Marion form downstairs, asking if there is a man up there. Marion, covered in blood, responds in his feminine voice, “No, mother.”

Nancy then decides to go through the woods and get help while later that night Terry awakes to hear a man masturbating.

Terry looks at Marion in shock as Marion pulls out the machete. She realizes that Marion is actually Mrs. Penrose’s other son after glimpsing at his chest hair. Marion brutally hacks a screaming Terry to death with the machete as he raves about having to pretend to be a girl, having to take care of Carl and how he had to kill all of the girls in the scary deep voice. Once Terry is dead, Mrs. Penrose calls for Marion downstairs asking if they had a man up there. Marion, covered in blood, denies being with a man in the feminine voice.

💎💎 THE ENDLESS💎💎- Two brothers receive a cryptic video message inspiring them to revisit the UFO death cult they escaped a decade earlier. Hoping to find the closure that they couldn’t find as young men, they’re forced to reconsider the cult’s beliefs when confronted with unexplainable phenomena surrounding the camp. As the members prepare for the coming of a mysterious event, the brothers race to unravel the seemingly impossible truth before their lives become permanently entangled with the cult. The Endless may be interpreted as a partial sequel to Benson and Moorhead’s 2012 film Resolution, as it appears to share the same universe and some plot points. Costarring Callie Hernandez, Tate Ellington, Lew Temple and James Jordan, the film tells the story of two brothers (Benson and Moorhead) who visit an alleged cult they formerly belonged to. Brothers Justin and Aaron receive a video cassette in the mail made by Camp Arcadia, a group they belonged to as young adults. Justin and Aaron’s recollection of events differ; Justin says the group was a UFO death cult, but Aaron recalls them as a harmless and friendly commune. Aaron points out that the video cassette proves the members are still alive. Justin, however, is worried that talk of “ascension” may be a code for some future mass suicide. Fed up with their inability to make friends or find good jobs since leaving Camp Arcadia, Aaron convinces Justin to return for just one day.
Justin and Aaron receive a friendly welcome at Camp Arcadia. None of the members seem to have aged in the decade since the brothers left. Anna and Lizzy take an interest in Aaron and Justin, respectively. Although Aaron welcomes the attention, Justin stays aloof from everyone but his brother. One of the members, Hal, excitedly shows Justin a Physics equation he has been working on. He says that he cannot explain what it represents, as it would be akin to describing an impossible color. However, he hopes that Justin will eventually accept the group’s beliefs now that he is older. As they partake in various activities, Aaron grows increasingly fond of his time at Camp Arcadia and he convinces Justin to stay an additional day. During one activity, members attempt to win a tug-of-war against a rope that ascends into the dark night sky. Justin says it is held by a member on a ladder but cannot explain how he loses when everyone else is present. The brothers separately notice increasingly weird occurrences. While exploring the woods, Justin becomes convinced an invisible entity is observing him and it leaves him a photograph of a buoy. When Justin presses Hall for answers, Hal admits that he knows no more than anyone else. His Physics equation is his interpretation of what is happening and he encourages Justin to find his own answers by following the entity’s clues. He advises Justin to search the bottom of the lake under the buoy in the photograph. Two mons rise in the sky. Hal tells Justin to come to a conclusion before a third rises.
Justin and Aaron go fishing. When Justin sees the buoy from the photograph, he dives into the water. He returns with a toolbox and says that something tried to hold him under. When they open the toolbox, they find a tape. Freaked out by the strange events and ostentatious clues, Justin insists they leave immediately. At the camp, Hal and Justin get into an argument after Hal plays the tape, which is a recording of Justin and Aaron misrepresenting Camp Arcadia to outsiders. Justin calls Hal a cult leader, and Hal says Justin made up lurid stories to tell the press about Camp Arcadia. Outraged that Justin was misleading him, too, Aaron refuses to leave. Justin’s car does not start and he leaves to find help. Justin encounters several people stuck in time loops, most of whom repeatedly experience their own violent deaths for the amusement of the entity. They explain that the entity has trapped them and that he will also become trapped once the third moon rises. Justin finds Aaron, who has come looking for him. Justin explains their danger, but Aaron still wants to stay behind, as he cannot stand to return to his old life. Aaron reasons that experiencing death at the hands of entity, which is considered a sacred ritual by the cult, would be better than menial jobs and not having friends. When Justin admits he was wrong to force Aaron into this lifestyle, Aaron becomes hopeful that their life can improve and agrees to leave. The brothers barely escape as the entity destroys the camp. Justin advises Aaron to refill the gas tank and Aaron says that the car’s gas tank gauge has already read empty.
