Short filmTranscript
00:00The movie begins in a woods, where a terrified man is frantically running away from someone.
00:05After some time, he collides with a piece of wood and falls,
00:09injuring his leg and rendering him unable to move forward.
00:13Two people with axes in their hands approach him, and one of them kills him.
00:30Following this, we see Maya and her boyfriend Ryan on the third day of their road trip across the country
00:37to celebrate their fifth anniversary.
00:39They get a little too romantic, and suddenly a truck comes in front of them,
00:43and they narrowly escape a collision.
00:45They continue driving, but Maya notices that their GPS is not working because the phone has no signal.
00:52Realizing they are lost, they eventually come across a town named Venus
00:56and decide to stop at a diner to get something to eat.
00:59At the diner, Maya and Ryan meet a couple, who mention that today is their anniversary too.
01:04When Maya shares that she and Ryan have been dating for five years,
01:08but are not married yet, the people around them give strange reactions.
01:13As they go to the counter to pay their bill, they learn about a man named Jeff,
01:17who was last seen in this diner, and has been missing ever since.
01:21As Maya and Ryan return to their car to leave, they discover that it won't start.
01:26Suddenly, Ryan gets startled by a man standing near the window.
01:30The man introduces himself as Rudy and mentions that he has a garage in the back.
01:34Rudy checks the car and tells them that the alternator is shot and needs to be replaced.
01:40He explains that they need to get a new part from the dealer over in Eugene,
01:44but since the dealer is already closed, he can send Dogi first thing in the morning to pick it up.
01:49Maya asks if there's anywhere to stay nearby,
01:52to which they tell her that there is an Airbnb close by.
01:56Ryan becomes suspicious and thinks it's a scam,
01:59explaining to Maya that the mechanic must have seen them go into the diner
02:03and then conveniently claimed their car was broken.
02:06However, Maya asks him not to be paranoid,
02:09thanks Rudy for his help, and Rudy offers to have Dogi drive them to the place.
02:14Shelly, however, interjects, saying she can drive them since she is off in 10 minutes,
02:19and lives out that way.
02:21The couple arrives at the cabin, and Maya comments that she likes it so much better than a hotel.
02:26After a while, Ryan notices that the fridge is out,
02:29and Maya finds the cabin owner Joe's number on the fridge door.
02:33She goes outside to call Joe, but it goes to voicemail,
02:36so she leaves him a message to get the fridge fixed.
02:39Later that night, they receive a weird knock at the door.
02:42When Ryan opens it, they find a girl outside who asks,
02:46Is Tamara here? Maya responds, saying she thinks she has the wrong home,
02:50and the girl walks away without saying anything,
02:53which they find weird since they are out in the middle of nowhere.
02:56They then notice the girl standing at a distance, watching them,
03:00and as soon as Ryan turns on the light, she disappears.
03:03They both don't pay much attention to it,
03:05and start talking about their old trips when suddenly Ryan has an asthma attack.
03:10Maya realizes she left his inhaler in the car,
03:13to which Ryan suggests that there is an old motorcycle outside
03:16that he can just drive into town and retrieve the inhaler from the car.
03:21Next, we see Maya talking to her friend Debbie on a video call,
03:24when she suddenly hears the sound of something falling.
03:27She disconnects the call to check it out, thinking Ryan has returned.
03:31However, she becomes a little scared when there is no response,
03:35and then hears a knock on the door.
03:36She looks through the peephole, but doesn't see anyone.
03:39Then, the girl asks again,
03:41Is Tamara here?
03:43To which Maya replies that they've already told her there is no Tamara here.
03:47She then peeks out of the peephole again,
03:49and finds the same girl still standing there.
03:52Maya locks the door, but the girl knocks on the door again,
03:55and asks, Is Tamara here?
03:57Then someone passes behind Maya,
03:59and she notices footsteps moving away from the house.
04:02She sits back on the couch, waiting for Ryan,
04:05but is surprised to find that the phone she had left on the table is no longer there.
04:10After looking around, she finds it lying nearby,
04:13but suddenly, she hears a girl's voice singing a song, which scares her a little.
04:19However, when she checks outside the window, she doesn't see anyone.
04:22She becomes very scared and calls Ryan, but her call goes to voicemail,
04:27so she leaves a message saying that the girl came back and then left again,
04:31and she asks him to return soon.
04:33Meanwhile, Ryan arrives at the garage, but no one is there.
04:37However, as he takes his inhaler out of the car, Rudy arrives.
04:41Ryan explains that this is his car, and he came to get something,
04:45to which Rudy responds that he should have called first
04:48because he might have thought he was a car thief.
04:51Back at the house, Maya plays the piano,
04:53unaware that a man wearing a scarecrow mask is sitting in a chair behind her,
04:58watching her, and after a while, he disappears.
05:01Later, while Maya is taking a shower, Scarecrow appears again, stalking her.
05:06However, when Maya looks in that direction, no one is there.
05:10Sometime later, a power goes out in the house,
05:13and Maya hears the sound of something falling.
05:15When she goes to investigate, she encounters another stalker,
05:19which terrifies her, and in a panic, she runs upstairs and hides in a storeroom.
05:24Maya's fear intensifies when she notices someone approaching the room,
05:28but it turns out to be Ryan who asks her what she's doing there
05:32and why the lights are off.
05:34She explains that there's someone in the house and asks if he saw anyone outside,
05:39to which he replies, no.
05:41They locate the fuse box and turn on the light,
05:43and when Ryan asks what happened,
05:46Maya tells him that someone was standing right there,
05:48wearing a weird, creepy mask with big eyes.
05:52Ryan checks the area and discovers a painting,
05:55and he suggests that Maya might have seen this painting in the dark
05:58and mistook it for someone in a mask.
06:00He explains to her that being in an unfamiliar house
06:03can make anyone feel as if they saw something that wasn't really there.
06:07Suddenly, there's another knock on the door,
06:09and Ryan, frustrated, goes to answer it but finds no one there.
06:14However, at a distance, he and Maya can see the same girl standing and watching them.
06:19Maya asks if the girl is wearing a mask,
06:22to which Ryan replies that he doesn't know.
06:24He moves toward the girl to confront her,
06:26but she runs away as he approaches,
06:29and Ryan warns her that he will call the police if it happens again.
06:33After the confrontation,
06:34Ryan and Maya return inside and begin to eat,
06:37but they soon notice something dripping onto their packet of fries.
06:41Looking up in horror, they see a dead bird hanging above their dining table.
06:45They rush to close all the doors and windows,
06:48but suddenly, someone hits the door with an axe,
06:51and in a panic, they rush to lock themselves in a room to stay safe.
06:55After some time, the scarecrow man breaks open the door with his axe.
07:00However, after staring at them for a while, he leaves.
07:03Thinking that he is gone,
07:05Maya and Ryan cautiously descend the stairs,
07:08where Ryan finds his phone, but it's broken.
07:10They decide to leave the cabin,
07:12but suddenly the motorcycle explodes,
07:15and once again, facing the scarecrow,
07:18they rush back inside the house to escape.
07:20They hide in the washroom,
07:22where Maya suggests that since Joe is a hunter,
07:25there might be a hunting rifle in the house.
07:27She also notices that the house has a raised foundation,
07:30indicating there might be a crawlspace they could use to hide or escape.
07:34The two try to escape by crawling underneath the house,
07:38where Maya accidentally strikes her hand on a nail,
07:41and the pinup girl hears her scream.
07:43Ryan signals her to keep quiet and pulls the nail out of her hand in one go.
07:48They then manage to come out of the cabin and start running towards the shed,
07:52but Ryan falls, and when he gets up and moves forward,
07:55his inhaler falls there.
07:57They both hide in a shed, which is very dark,
08:00and when Maya lights her lighter,
08:01we see pinup girl standing behind them.
08:04They both search for a gun,
08:06but they don't find it so Ryan picks up an axe for their safety.
08:09Afterward, Ryan hands the axe to Maya and goes upstairs to search for the gun,
08:14but he doesn't find anything.
08:16Suddenly, pinup girl appears,
08:18and then the scarecrow attacks her through the window.
08:20However, Ryan shoots the gun and drives them away.
08:24The two then come out of the shed and approach the cabin,
08:27where they hear noises from the porch.
08:29Ryan reacts by shooting at a guy.
08:31However, upon checking,
08:33Maya realizes that the person shot was not wearing a mask.
08:36They then realize with horror that they have accidentally killed the cabin owner Joe,
08:41who had come to fix the refrigerator.
08:43They attempt to escape in Joe's vehicle,
08:45but are intercepted when the scarecrow's truck T-bombs them.
08:49Maya successfully gets out of the car,
08:51but Ryan is trapped due to his stuck leg.
08:53He urges her to leave,
08:55and despite her reluctance to leave him behind,
08:57she leaves him.
08:58Ryan loads the gun to shoot Scarecrow,
09:01but discovers he's not in the car.
09:03Suddenly, Scarecrow attacks him with his axe,
09:06and Ryan fires the gun,
09:08but Scarecrow dodges the bullet and flees the scene.
09:11Meanwhile, Maya calls 911 to report the attack
09:14and the people trying to kill them,
09:16but the call fails due to a lack of service,
09:19and suddenly,
09:20she gets terrified seeing a corpse next to her.
09:23She then comes out from there,
09:25only to encounter Dollface,
09:26who swiftly knocks her unconscious.
09:28On the other hand,
09:30Ryan confronts Pinup Girl,
09:32holding her at gunpoint,
09:33demanding to know Maya's whereabouts,
09:36and instructing her to drop her knife.
09:38He then orders her to turn around
09:40and repeats his question about Maya.
09:42However, instead of complying,
09:45Pinup Girl begins to dance and laugh,
09:47and before Ryan can react,
09:49Scarecrow strikes him,
09:51knocking him down.
09:52Ryan and Maya awaken to find themselves
09:55tied to chairs inside the house.
09:57In a moment of desperation,
09:59Ryan proposes to Maya,
10:00who tearfully accepts.
10:02As they share a heartbreaking moment,
10:04Ryan is fatally stabbed by Pinup Girl,
10:07and we see the three intruders stand before them.
10:10Scarecrow then moves forward
10:11and knocks over Ryan's chair,
10:13resulting in him choking on his own blood.
10:16In anguish,
10:17Maya demands to know why they're doing this to them,
10:20to which Pinup Girl coldly replies,
10:23because you're here.
10:24Scarecrow then stabs Maya,
10:26and she too is knocked over.
10:28As police sirens wail in the distance,
10:31the perpetrators hastily flee the scene.
10:34Maya eventually awakens in a hospital bed,
10:36having survived the night.
10:38She slowly rises from the bed,
10:40but fails to notice Scarecrow lying next to her.
