Storyline
In a remote hill top mansion, a mysterious stranger emerges from a thunderstorm in the night, seeking refuge with the Whipley family; three young adults ruled by their strict religious mother, and their troubled father, who has vanished the previous night. But perhaps the 'stranger' is more connected to this family and to the dark unknown history of the house than they suspect, and as the visitor begins to cultivate sexual tensions and paranoia within the house, the devilishly erotic history of the Whipley family threatens to lure them deep into its lustful, violent madness once again. Written by Charlie Steeds

I have no idea what I just watched. This movie is all over the place. Just saying it was a hot mess would be a compliment. If you want to waste a couple hours, by all means, this is your movie. There is no coherent plot or storyline. The scripting is a nightmare. The acting is overly exaggerated and tries to hard to be deeply dramatic. The filming is not polished. The only thing that held any quality was the setting. The house and grounds played their part well seeing as all they had to do was exist. Very strange movie.
