Warning: Spoilers
Ben Holland (Tim Higgins) is a successful chef in Chicago working 90 hours a week. His relationship has become strained with his interior decorator wife Lydia (Kara Mulrooney). They decide to leave the city and go live on a farm in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin. This is the same farm we see in the opening scene from Friday the 13th 1961 where Edith disappears in a flash of light. Ben imagines himself being a photographer and takes pictures around the farm and sees images of people who are not there. He uncovers the story of Edith (Veronica Cartwright), who came back and lives in a cottage nearby and doesn't have a full deck. He is being harassed by Sheriff Roy (Neidermeyer) a friend of Edith. Lydia uncovers pictures of a cult ritual performed on the grounds, something that perhaps has a tie-in, but wasn't explained.

It was interesting to watch Ben methodically attempt to film the ghosts rather than call a Zelda Rubinstein. Although a weird goth spiritualist would have played well too. The overreaction of the townies never made sense.

Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. No sexy spiritualist.
