Four criminals are on the way to a hospital when their suburban breaks down. Trying to keep their comrade alive, they hike through the snow and stumble upon a fort. The fort's inhabitants, a trio of beautiful sisters, take them in and care for them. However, things are not all they seem to be in the fort once the lights go out. Now in a fight for all their lives, the quartet must find a way to escape alive before they become a sacrifice to a creature more terrifying than they could ever realize.

Trivia

New to the horror genre, Jesse Plemons' (Lemmon) first experience involved his being suspended from a ceiling all night long. "I have a new respect for every actor that I've seen in a horror movie," he says. "When you're upside down and there's blood dripping off your head into a pan, there isn't a lot of acting involved and you just kind of have to react."

User Reviews

A good first episode

When I first saw this I didn't know what to expect. All I knew that it was about vampires living in a old creepy fort. The story is that there are four thieves trying to find help. What they find is three sisters living in a fort that they built to keep out the vampires. One of the sisters is evil and the other two are good. I thought the effects were really good and acting was good. The plot seemed well planned out and the ending was good. The traps that the evil sister put out were smart and tricky. Of course the ending was twisted like all the other episodes. Overall I would give the episode "The Sacrifice" a 9/10 for good effects and a good episode.
