A family intervention goes horrifically awry within the snowy confines of an isolated lake house.
Hollywood Reporter
Mickey Keating's low-budget horror film concerns a PTSD-afflicted veteran who claims to be the victim of a mysterious government conspiracy.
Displaying influences ranging from The Twilight Zone to such recent paranoid conspiracy thrillers as Bug, the film begins with Ed (Dean Cates) and Lyla (Lauren Ashley Carter) traveling to the remote Maine cabin where their combat veteran brother Martin (Brian Morvant) lives. Ed has dragged his reluctant sister along for the trip after receiving a frantic message from Martin, but what they find is even worse than they anticipated.
The clearly disturbed Martin begins raving about a mysterious conspiracy and the "pod" contained in his basement. He also claims that the government has planted some sort of tracking device in his teeth, with a resulting scene of gruesome, self-inflicted dentistry definitely upping the proceedings' "ick" quotient.
Although Ed tries to instill some calmness to the situation, Lyla completely devolves into a hysterical state. Martin, meanwhile, begins to make some sense. He does, after all, point out that the one thing that Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman and Timothy McVeigh had in common was that they were all former soldiers. It's definitely food for thought.
That's about it in terms of the plot, which eventually involves a mysterious trench coat-wearing figure (veteran horror filmmaker Larry Fessenden, in a nicely referential bit of casting) who shows up to wreak more havoc.
