Plot

At the film’s beginning, we see a masked man kill a woman and leave her in a maze so that her body seems to be a part of the horror decorations. The film was set in a horror theme park called Hell Fest, and this masked murderer is called “The Other”, played by Stephen Conroy. The film’s protagonists are Natalie, played by Amy Forsyth, and Brooke, played by Reign Edwards. They were accompanied by Brooke’s friends Taylor, Quinn, Asher, and Gavin. They visit Hell Fest on Halloween. While they were enjoying the horror park, they met a terrified woman trying to hide from someone. When they meet the masked killer “The Other,” Natalie tells him about the woman’s hiding place, believing it to be a part of the horror experience. “The Other” kills the woman in front of their eyes. Natalie has the suspicion that it seems too real, but the group dismisses her worries and tells her that it is all a part of the theme. But soon, they realize that the threat is real and “The Other” is after them, hell-bent on killing them all. The film follows them as they try to survive their masked killer’s attacks and traps.
