💎💎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.”
Three young women who crash their car during a rainstorm are taken
in by a bizarre family at their large, rural estate. College students, Three
beautiful college girls are on their way to a music festival, but they accidentally
drive their car into a ditch during a storm. They regain consciousness in a dark
mansion and are introduced to a crazy old lady and her homely daughter. Unfortunately,
the house is in the middle of nowhere so the girls must stay for a while. Although,
somebody is beginning to kill the girls one by one, it is up to one girl to
find out what’s going on, before she too is murdered…
The film opens to three college girls, Terry, Nancy and Gloria
all getting ready to leave for a Jazz concert. After Terry unsuccessfully tells
her mother about the trip the trio friends leave driving through the pretty wilderness
that surrounds their little town. A thunderstorm begins to appear when Nancy,
speeding down the road, runs over a log, plummeting the car into a steep
ravine. Terry awakes to find her and her friends alive but sheltered in an old mansion
in the middle of nowhere owned by the Penrose’s, Marion and her mother and their
groundskeeper/doctor friend, Norman. Gloria is the only one with serious
injuries so Marion suggests that they spend the night until Gloria is able to
leave with them. Terry and Nancy are then invited to dinner with Marion and her
old, crippled mother who berates Marion at every chance she gets, calling her a
slut and a whore. Mrs. Penrose ruins dinner for everyone after going on a tirade
of how horrible men are (specifically her ex-husband). The four then make their way to the living
room and listen to Marion play the piano while outside a dirtied, grubby man
appears, roaming around and looking menacingly into the shadows.
That night Terry and Nancy begin to discuss how weird the family
is at the house and Terry finds a booth under her bed. Nancy then decides to go
through the woods and get help while later that night Terry awakes to hear a
man masturbating. The next morning someone watches Nancy and Terry take a shower
through a peephole in the bathroom wall. At breakfast the two tell Marion they’re
plan and Marion says it’s a good idea, telling Terry to go get firewood. Nancy then
sets off through the woods while Terry is frightened away from the shed out
back by Marion because it’s full of loose timbers. Nancy makes it through the
thick forest, only to be gorily slashed or death by a figure with a long scythe.
That night Terry finds that Nancy has not returned and becomes worried but Mrs.
Penrose and Marion assure she’s probably okay as once again, dinner is ruined by
Mrs. Penrose’s views on men and her daughter. That night Terry once again hears
the breathing and goes to see who it is finding an abandoned little kids’ room
with black and white pictures of two little kids and an old tool belt with a
dusty gun and machete. She goes back to her room only to see the dirty, grubby
man outside her window and runs screaming down the stairs into Marion’s arms.
Marin then calms her down and tells her that the man is her brother Carl who
has the fundamental mind of a five-year-old and who their mother abandoned when
she gave up on men. She insists that he is harmless and Terry admits to overreacting
and goes back to bed.
The next day Terry is once again worried about where Nany is and
Marion assures her that she’s probably in town right then. Terry then goes up
to see Gloria, who is now conscious and the two begin to discuss ways to get
out of the house while same person watches through another peep hole in the wall.
Terry then goes outside to talk to Norman and asks if he’s seen Nancy, telling
him that she went through the woods only to have Norman freak out and warn her
about a couple of girls disappearing in the woods around there. Night comes and
someone sneaks into Gloria’s room and splits her head open with an axe. Terry
goes upstairs and finds Gloria’s room empty and asks Marion where she is. Marion
tells her she may have went outside for a breath of fresh air so Terry searches
for her outside. She calls for Gloria but finds Carl ready to attack her. After
Carl chases her to the shed, Terry finds the dead bodies of her friends along
with several other dismembered corpses. Carl breaks through the window and
tries to grab her but she fights back and runs back to the house. After running
back to the house and upstairs into the kid’s room she takes out the dusty gun
and shoots Carl in the head while an alarmed Marion comes running upstairs to
find her brother dead with Terry recuperating in front of his corpse. When Marion
questions her frantically about killing her brother Terry tells her go look in
the shed to which Marion tells her (in a deep masculine voice) that Carl had
nothing to do with what happened in the shed. 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.
