Stuck home alone for the night, a group of brothers who are left by themselves suddenly begin to experience a series of strange violent hallucinations, and with no one to help must try to uncover the truth about the visions before it turns deadly.
This was quite a fun shot-on-video effort. Among the better features here is the fine setup that brings everything together quite nicely. The simple-minded idea of getting the kids home alone and by themselves through the parental note that ensures they're going to be without supervision for an extended period of time while the strange visions occur is quite creative. It also adds some suspense to everything while they're subjected to everything without being able to do anything about it as time goes on. The hallucinations that take place here are incredibly fun and give this quite a lot to like. Starting off innocently with the bloody chainsaw and the robed figure by the tree, this escalates incredibly well into far more terrifying encounters. Imagining themself passing a knife while using the bathroom, being chased by a machete-wielding killer, being tied down and tormented by a crazed maniac, or attacked by a monstrous being while in the bathroom, the hallucinations are generally far more fun and creepy than they should while providing some solid low-level indie gore. These factors are more than enough to hold it up since there isn't much that's really wrong with this one. Among the main issues here comes in the final half where this unexpectedly and unnecessarily switches gears into a haunted house film. Attempting to tie the source of the hallucinations as a singular entity taunting and targeting them in order to present a more unified familial unit feels out-of-place from what came before. It would've felt a lot more genuine had it stayed more mysterious, which is as damaging as the constant interactions of the low-budget, shot-on-video style that tend to hold this one down.
