Synopsis

AD2009: Four guys from a city insurance company are not interested in countryside team building exercises and assault courses. They would rather be playing or watching football and downing several beers while chasing anything in a skirt. Yet here they are on an all expenses paid company trip to the middle of nowhere deep in the English countryside, not their idea of a jolly weekend away.

But maybe their luck has arrived in the form of the three Tanner sisters living and working alone on Graves Hill Farm close to a small village with a pub! Other than football, everything could be catered for after all! The sisters are friendly, open and warm, but all is not as it seems and the guys begin to wish they’d paid more attention on the assault course.

AD1709: The three Tanner sisters are the daughters of convicted witch Elizabeth Tanner. Abused by their farmer father, the sisters murder him and hide his body on a cross in the field as a crow scarer. With his dying words the father curses his daughters to remain on the farm for an eternity.

The sisters live in limbo on the farm neither living not dead, until the year 2009 when the chance to free themselves from a living hell is realised in the form of four guys lost in the depths of the English countryside.

The sisters have turned to their mother’s witchcraft to resurrect their father and seek his mercy and lift the curse hanging over them. Their father in his decayed resurrected state agrees to lift the curse enabling them all to pass over; but such a task does not come easy and involves replacing the father as a scarecrow with the body parts of five individuals â€" one for each member of the Tanner family. The killing spree begins.
