Plot:
Writer Blake Sinclair (Allison McAtee) goes away for the weekend to the small town of Northdale to stay in a cabin and finish writing her book, with plans to meet her husband days later.
Unaware that a madman has escaped a mental hospital. He returns to his home, coincidently, the same cabin where Blake is staying in Northdale. The killer toys with Blake and must be stopped but will her husband make it in time to save her?
Reviews:
“The movie is generic and is filled with recycled ideas. Sure, filmmakers want to pay homage to horror classics, and I get that, but this just goes beyond that. If you like originality, great acting, and an interesting story, skip Why? and watch something else.” Horror Fuel
” …much of the backstory is only hinted at -, but that really works in favour of the overall tension of the film, as the less that’s fully explained, the more the unease of the protagonist is palpable. And a suspense-heavy directorial effort that makes perfect use of the rural setting, as well as very solid performances help make this into one exciting genre flick.” Search My Trash
