One year ago ALEX found his girlfriend CHLOE hanging in the spare room of their apartment. There was no suicide note. No warning.

Alex hasn’t left the apartment the apartment since and does everything he can to avoid thinking of Chloe. He won’t even set foot in the spare room any more.

But Chloe returns to him every night. Visions of her suffocated corpse invade his sleep. The nightmares are so vivid that Alex sometimes can’t tell if he’s asleep or awake.

Staying awake leads to depression. Going to sleep causes extreme terror. He’s at his wits end with nowhere to turn.

Until SARAH moves in across the hall. An expert in hypnosis and lucid dreaming, she agrees to teach Alex her techniques in hopes that it will help him confront the ghoulish version of Chloe that haunts him.

But the hypnosis works too well. Not only is Alex able to confront his fears, he can use lucid dreams to conjure up a version of Chloe before she died. A normal, happy version.

He quickly becomes obsessed with her. He spends every waking moment trying to fall in to a dream state where he can be with his lost love.

But like any addiction, the more he does it the higher his tolerance becomes. It gets harder to conjure up a positive version of Chloe and the nightmares slowly return.

Alex pleads with Sarah for help. But she refuses, seeming almost jealous of his relationship with Chloe.

Is Sarah simply afraid for her friend? Or does she have an ulterior motive?

Alex needs to find an answer before he loses complete sense of reality and is lost forever in a world of visions and nightmares.


FARMHOUSE

KAREN and her four friends visit a horseback ranch for a weekend of outdoor sightseeing and adventure. But their overbearing instructor manages to suck all the excitement out of it by making them crawl along at a snail’s pace.

Taking action in to their own hands, the group sneaks off with the horses, riding in to the woods by themselves.

Karen takes charge of the group but quickly winds up getting everyone lost. As the sun sets, they take shelter in a seemingly abandoned farmhouse.

Despite an eerie vibe and total lack of modern commodities, the shelter provides safety against the night.

Or so it appears.

They pass the quiet hours as only hormone driven youths can. But the startling noises of screaming outside the house interrupts their indiscretions.

They rush to the source of the noise and find that all five of their horses have been brutally slaughtered.

Convinced that the riding instructor has come seeking revenge, Karen persuades her friends to leave immediately.

Their only hope is an abandoned, damaged vehicle they find in the farmhouse’s adjacent barn.

But while attempting to repair the vehicle, they discover the mutilated corpse of the instructor.

Karen and her friends quickly realize they are facing an unknown enemy who aims to harm them simply for the sport of it.

One by one, Karen bears witness as her friends and loved ones are systematically terrorized and butchered by their tormentor and his indiscriminate blade.
