Heading out into the wilderness, a group of friends visiting an abandoned cabin in the woods find that the area holds a slew of possessed bodies inside and their presence has freed the demons into the group forcing the ones left to fight off the deadly beings to escape alive.
This one was a decent if slightly problematic entry. When this one works, it's due to the rather enjoyable setup throughout the first half of the film to just dive straight into the plot without much hesitation. It doesn't take long for the group to suddenly start getting to the unleashed beings which is where the fun starts here as this one is pretty much non-stop from the start. The discovery of the doll and the unleashed terror that comes from that are pretty chilling, and the scenes down in the basement where the demonic figures begin toying with the trapped group come off really nicely as the concept behind these scenes is rather terrifying with the alternate portal being opened with the flashing light and distorted sounds constantly appearing throughout here. Since the group is constantly fighting off the different beings and possessed bodies being thrown their way, the action is rather constant here and the encounters only get more frantic and intense with the possessed continuously getting involved here in some incredibly trippy and distorted scenes featuring all sorts of demonic beings being present. Even the final confrontations are a lot of fun, and given that these basically bring about an endless slew of bloodletting and gory creature effects it does come off really nice overall. While these make this one a lot of fun, it does have a few issues here. One of the main ones is the fact that there's just not a whole lot of explanation for anything that goes on, making the scenes in here incredibly confusing more than scary. There's really little about the extended sequence of the demon coming through the TV set in the basement for minutes on end where all we see is distorted images of inhuman feet or legs while bestial growling plays during the whole sequence which registers because it's impossible to make out what's going on, and that this is a common occurrence throughout the film is a big drawback. Nothing really seems to happen for a reason here and the overall confusing nature of this one just makes for a really painful time trying to make sense of what's going on, from the nature of the possession to the need for the time-traveler being thrown into the mix as well. Likewise, the film's really low-budget does end up harming this one with the distorted voices being indecipherable, regular speaking voices being way too low to be heard properly and way too many dark scenes being blobs of pixels on-screen which makes it hard to tell the nature of the sequence. These here are what really hold this back.
