Synopsis

Ian and Liz Crowell have just purchased a remote piece of woodlands on which to build the house of their dreams. One evening, they invite their best friends, Bruce and Claire to tour the property – an outing that leads to beers around the campfire. When questioned as to how he was able to buy so much land for so little money, Ian reveals that the woods are haunted by a pitchfork-wielding ghost bent on revenge. Everyone scoffs at the idea of ghosts – until a long-forgotten childhood game leads to a grisly murder – or two. Is the ghost responsible – or are other forces at work in these dark woods?
