Dead Night

The Pollack family is ready for vacation. Jason has just graduated, Jessica is bringing her friend Becky, and James and Casey are both trying to take their minds off James' inoperable liver cancer. James is skeptical but Casey is futilely hoping that a weekend at her friend Mika's cabin that happens to be built on a deposit of iron oxide will cure him or at least help him feel better. Everything seems normal, the cabin is rustic but nice, Jessica and Jason snipe at each other like most siblings and James' awkward dad humor keeps the mood light. But their weekend away takes an odd turn when James finds a woman passed out in the woods near the cabin. After bringing her inside, Casey leaves to find better reception and call an ambulance. While she's gone, the mysterious woman's behavior sets the rest of the Pollacks on edge. When Casey returns, things get too strange and the Pollacks reach the limits of their hospitality. But the woman isn't ready to leave, and the family's relaxing weekend away is about to turn deadly.
