Storyline

Tim plans to spend his 21st birthday at his Scottish estate with eight of his closest friends. Amongst the excitement of rediscovering old friendships, no one minds that a snowstorm has cut them off from the rest of the outside world. Everything is set for the perfect weekend, until one of the guests stumbles across an old history of the house with the power to unleash the horrors of Scotland's past. The book tells of Murray, the old Scot patriot, who has had his eyes torn out and his house taken away during the English invasion. Intent on exacting bloody revenge on the reunited English friends Murray possesses the body of a guest and turns him into a murderer. He seems impossible to stop as when the possessed guest is killed, Murray passes into the killer to continue his mission of murdering all nine of them. It is survival of the fittest as the friendships are pushed to the limit. No one can guess who the next killer will be or how to break the chain. Only one will survive.

Better than I expected by a long way

OK, Why did I watch this film? -Simple Paris Hilton. What was it like ?- It was like National lampoons meets Blair witch project- But was funny in places and scary in others. Would I recommend it?- Actually yes i would, Paris was not that bad an actress at all. She does pull off a believable character.The basis of the film is that 9 friends have reunited for a birthday party in the Scottish Highlands. The drink flows and relationships are rekindled, everyone relaxes for the perfect weekend.it starts to snow and soon the group is entirely cut off from the rest of the world. Soon some uninvited guests join the party. Obviously one by one they start to die. Paris lasts about 24 minutes or so. I will not spoil it but only one person survives. I will not tell you who.

This film does not have the big stars but it does exactly what it says on the box. I enjoyed the film and would watch again.

All in all a good watch.
