Maggie starts experiencing terrifying nightmares about a mysterious man, leading to increased anxiety and confusion in her daily life. She turns to her friend Suzanne for support, hoping to find some clarity regarding her fears.

Suzanne becomes deeply immersed in writing a screenplay about a girl named Sarah, which begins to consume her focus. Her dedication to the project strains her relationship with Mark, who is seeking her attention and support.

Mr. Davis introduces a film project that his students have been developing, filled with Z-series films that include unexpected twists. The students, excited about their creativity, band together to fully realize this ambitious endeavor.

The students' films are set to premiere at Dreamland, an aging theater that holds a tragic past due to a fire. As excitement grows, they are determined to bring their vision to life despite the ominous history surrounding the venue.

While preparing for the premiere, the group discovers the film *Possession*, which tells the unsettling story of Lanyard Gates and his dark intentions with Sarah. This discovery becomes increasingly relevant as Maggie learns of her father's past.

Maggie learns that Lanyard Gates is her father and that Suzanne heroically saved both her and her father's life during the deadly fire at the Dreamland. This revelation adds an intense personal stake to the ongoing events.

Haunted by menacing phone calls, Suzanne makes the ill-fated decision to venture into the theater alone. Little does she know that danger lurks in the shadows as she explores the eerily quiet venue.

The killer strikes, first taking the life of Mr. Davis in a gruesome fashion using a mosquito prop. This shocking murder establishes the murderer’s brutal intent and sends shockwaves through the remaining students.

Disguised as Mr. Davis, the killer continues the bloodshed by taking Tina's life, followed by a brutal attack on Bud, who is attacked while disguised as Leon. The group realizes they are in grave danger and must band together to survive.

As tension rises, the killer confronts Maggie directly, leaving Suzanne incapacitated with a gun. The sense of impending doom escalates, and Maggie must summon all her courage to face this terrifying adversary.

In a shocking twist, Maggie discovers that Toby, a fellow student, is the mastermind behind the gruesome killings. Disfigured from the previous fire, Toby is hell-bent on recreating Lanyard Gates’ dark sacrifice.

In a frantic race against time, Mark seeks the help of Toby’s landlord to find Maggie and uncover the truth behind this horrifying plot. His determination drives him back to the Dreamland in a desperate attempt to save her.

As chaos breaks out within the theater, Cheryl and Joanie take drastic measures by ejecting Joy and another patron from the premises. They lock the doors, creating a tension-filled atmosphere as they prepare for the worst.

During the tense *Possession* screening, Mark bravely confronts Toby, who is reveling in the chaos. This confrontation culminates in a desperate struggle, where Mark uses the very mosquito prop that claimed lives to subdue Toby.

After the harrowing ordeal concludes, Maggie and Toby share a moment of relief as they provide statements to the authorities about the events that transpired. The surviving students are left to process their trauma and the impact of the night’s horrors.
