Synopsis
Sam (Jocelin Donahue) is a pretty college sophomore and is desperate to earn some cash for a deposit on an apartment. She accepts a babysitting job but when she finds out there is no baby, instead of backing out decides to carry on with the job
Mr and Mrs Ulman (cult actors Tom Noonan and Mary Woronov) are the older couple who have set a plan in motion and lure Sam out to their creaky Victorian mansion deep in the woods, just in time for a total lunar eclipse.
Sam's best friend Megan (Greta Gerwig), gives her a ride out to the house, and reluctantly leaves her there despite suspecting that something is amiss, and not all as it seems. Sam soon notices a creepy guy lurking around the house, who introduces himself as Victor Ulman (AJ Bowen), but he quickly makes it clear that Sam will end this night in a bloody fight for her life....
