The premise

A family's road trip takes a dangerous turn when they arrive at a secluded mobile home park to stay with some relatives and find it mysteriously deserted. Under the cover of darkness, three masked killers pay them a visit to test the family's every limit as they struggle to survive.

Horror Vault's take

When a family stops at a quiet mobile home park en route to drop their daughter at boarding school, they find the place eerily empty — and night brings something far worse than silence. Three masked strangers emerge from the darkness with no motive beyond terror, forcing the family into a desperate, brutal fight to see the sunrise. Director Johannes Roberts cranks the 80s slasher aesthetic to eleven, bathing neon-lit setpieces in synth-soaked dread. It's lean, mean, and uncompromising in its pursuit of pure genre thrills.
