Plot Summary


The film begins with a haunting video confession from Molly, apologizing for her transgressions as she attempts to cut her own throat with a knife on October 16, 2011. The ensuing narrative unfolds in non-linear fashion, with the majority of the story revealed through flashback sequences.

As the story progresses, we find Tim (Johnny Lewis) and Molly settling into their new life together in her childhood home. However, strange occurrences soon beset the couple, culminating in a series of inexplicable events that leave them both shaken. When Tim departs for a few days, leaving Molly alone, the atmosphere in the house becomes increasingly oppressive, with eerie whispers emanating from the shed’s hidden underground shrine.

Upon Tim’s return, he discovers Molly in a state of trance-like reverie, staring blankly into a corner of their bedroom as if possessed by some unseen force. As her behavior becomes increasingly erratic, Molly begins to document their neighbors, including a young girl and her mother, who live nearby. Her encounters with paranormal forces escalate, culminating in an unsettling experience at work where she hears the haunting melody of “Lovely Molly” echoing through the halls.

The following day, Molly’s boss presents her with surveillance footage that shows her alone, lost in a sexual frenzy against a wall. When confronted about her actions, Molly becomes hysterical, insisting that she was sexually assaulted by an unseen assailant standing behind her. As her condition deteriorates further, she begins to interact with the dead, including a rotting deer, and exhibits an unnatural affinity for the local pastor.

Fearing for their safety, Tim takes Molly to the doctor, only to be told that she is physically healthy. That night, however, Molly’s behavior becomes increasingly violent, culminating in a vicious attack on Tim that leaves him terrified. In desperation, he reaches out to Molly’s sister Hannah, who uncovers the disturbing truth about their childhood home.

In the depths of the basement, Hannah finds a rotting deer, evidence of Molly’s descent into madness. As she confronts her sister, Molly reveals that their father had been manipulating her, fueling her paranoia and mistrust. With her sister’s help, Molly begins to unravel the dark secrets of her past, ultimately leading to a shocking confrontation with the truth about their family’s history and the forces that have haunted them for so long.

As the eerie silence settles over the household, Molly surreptitiously captures her neighbor on camera, her clandestine nature mirroring the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. Meanwhile, Tim remains distraught, his anguish palpable as he sits alongside the young girl’s mother on the couch, their familiarity and intimacy evident in the tender yet unsettling oral act that unfolds before them. The arrival of Pastor Bobby at Molly’s doorstep finds her emerging stark naked, their embrace a poignant juxtaposition to the darkness that lies ahead.

Tragedy strikes when Pastor Bobby is discovered lifeless in the bathtub, his body covered in bite marks that seem to foreshadow the gruesome fate that awaits others. As Tim returns home, he stumbles upon the video camera playing, revealing a shocking recording of himself and their neighbor. Seething with rage, Molly attacks Tim, ultimately ending his life with a brutal screwdriver assault that eerily mirrors Pastor Bobby’s demise.

As the authorities later descend upon the woods to uncover the body of the young girl, her mother’s anguished wails echo through the desolate landscape. Amidst this chaos, Molly vanishes into thin air, leaving behind only the faintest whispers of her whereabouts. The couple’s once-peaceful home is now a haunting reminder of their fractured reality.

Months pass without resolution or answers regarding Molly’s disappearance. It is amidst this atmosphere of uncertainty that Hannah stumbles upon the family photo album on the floor, its worn pages revealing a shocking revelation: their father’s face has been replaced with horse heads from his prized collection. The discovery sends shivers down her spine as she senses an otherworldly presence lurking in the shadows.

As night begins to fall, Hannah’s curiosity gets the better of her, and she ventures into the closet, her trance-like state eerily reminiscent of Molly’s earlier encounters. As she reaches out towards some unseen force, the boundaries between reality and darkness begin to blur, leaving only one question: what terrors lie in store for those who dare to uncover the truth?
