The Violent Kind

Four friends and Cody's family arrive at a remote cabin to celebrate Cody's mother's birthday, bringing biker bravado and illicit business into a tense, claustrophobic space. Shade, Q's girlfriend and Cody's cousin, joins the trip along with Michelle and her younger sister Megan, who still have a crush on Cody. The quiet setting promises a festive respite, but old tensions simmer beneath the surface.

Upon entering, Cody's ex-girlfriend Michelle and her sister Megan are encountered, stirring unease among the group. The reunion exposes strained dynamics and unspoken grievances that threaten to sour the celebration. The cabin's walls echo with suspicion as the night promises to be unpredictable.

After the party winds down, Michelle and her husband depart, leaving Megan behind with the group. Megan's presence heightens the tension as the relationship dynamics grow more complicated. The separation plants the seed for the night’s isolation.

As night settles, Megan glimpses figures outside the cabin and hopes for a ride, but no one answers. A sudden power outage plunges the house into darkness, with cars stalling and cell phones losing signal. The group’s sense of safety dissolves into creeping dread.

In the escalating tension, Elroy assaults Michelle, only for her to wake and reverse the attack on him. She bites him hard, tearing flesh from his neck, and Elroy screams as the violence escalates. The others rush in, restraining Michelle with tape while trying to decide what comes next.

Cody and Megan decide to seek outside aid, arguing that help must come from outside this isolated cabin. Shade confronts Michelle, whom she believes may be possessed, adding to the supernatural tension. Michelle lunges at Shade, forcing Shade to flee, and Q fires a rifle through the door to form a barrier.

Michelle seizes a moment, clinging to the ceiling before dropping onto Q as he steps inside, wounding him severely. The others rush to subdue her, and chaos erupts as blood stains the cabin floor. The outcome leaves the group scrambling to decide their next move.

Cody and Megan discover their nearest neighbor lies dead, and the wall is peppered with missing-person notes dating back to the 1950s, hinting at a long, dark history in the area. They hurry back to the cabin and learn that Michelle has vanished and Q, now wounded, wants to abandon the search. The revelation deepens the fear and solidifies their resolve to stay and help Elroy.

Q and Cody have a heated argument that ends with Q walking away alone. On the road outside the cabin he encounters Michelle's husband, who is believed dead but is alive, and who speaks of hearing strange, beautiful music. The conversation pushes Q toward a possible escape from the escalating nightmare.

In the cabin, Elroy reports hearing music, and a related sense of unease lingers. A blinding light erupts around them, overlapping with the eerie soundscape and suggesting forces beyond human control. The ominous phenomenon foreshadows the impending collapse of their world.

Vernon, Jazz, and Murderball arrive at the cabin, seizing the group and torturing them for information about Michelle. Fear spreads as the intruders wield power with sadistic relish, hinting at a larger, chilling plan centering on Michelle.

Vernon stabs Q repeatedly with a switchblade, escalating the torture and showing his merciless attitude toward the captives. Shade protests as Vernon orders Jazz to kill her, heightening the sense of imminent doom. The group struggles to resist as the situation spirals.

Cody and Q manage to fight back, seize Vernon, and wrench control of the situation, but their rifle proves ineffective against him and Murderball. In a brutal turn, Murderball executes Q, ending his struggle inside the cabin. The violent confrontation marks a brutal pivot in the night's events.

Vernon reveals that he has inhabited a human body for sixty years and claims to hail from a void beyond time that inspired myths of heaven and hell. He explains a ritual involving Michelle, and then releases Cody and Megan from their restraints. The confession deepens the sense that humanity is manipulated by unknowable forces.

After completing the ritual, Vernon releases Cody and Megan and expresses a strange affection for their fate. The fugitives flee toward a nearby town, hoping to escape the nightmare they've endured. Outside, the world collapses: people drop dead and the sky grows ominously dark, signaling humanity's apparent doom.
