Thriller | Suspense
Baird College’s Mendenhall echoes with the footsteps of the
last home-bound students heading off for Thanksgiving
break, and Robin Stone swears she can feel the creepy,
hundred-year-old residence hall breathe a sigh of relief
for its long-awaited solitude. Or perhaps it’s only
gathering itself for the coming weekend.
As a massive storm dumps rain on the isolated campus, four
other lonely students reveal themselves: Patrick, a
handsome jock; Lisa, a manipulative tease; Cain, a brooding
musician; and finally Martin, a scholarly eccentric. Each
has forsaken a long weekend at home for their own secret
reasons.
The five unlikely companions establish a tentative rapport,
but they soon become aware of a sixth presence disturbing
the ominous silence that pervades the building. Are they
the victims of a simple college prank taken way too far, or
is the unusual energy evidence of something genuine---and
intent on using the five students for its own terrifying
ends? It’s only Thursday afternoon, and they have three
long days and dark nights before the rest of the world
returns to find out what’s become of them. But for now it’s
just the darkness keeping company with five students nobody
wants and no one will miss.
