Wait... you mean there was a plot to this crap? Silly me, I just thought it was a plotless pile of garbage. Nobody involved in any aspect of this film should be allowed anywhere near the film industry ever again. I'm not even sure they deserve to WATCH movies after this. And this is coming from somebody who is VERY hard to disappoint, ESPECIALLY with horror movies.

Lenor went out with some friends and one by one skinner kills them off in public but no one notices, not even lenor and the others who act as if the recently deceased friend never exsisted.

okay, so thats mroe of a summery. In fact, I just saved you any money from renting it.

It's a trick question. There was no plot.

I actually know the plot and no, I don't blame you for not catching it. In fact, I needed the blurb on the back of the box to fill in the blanks.

Basically that guy going through the field is The Red Death from Poe's story The Masque Of The Red Death, despite never actually wearing any red. Yeah, he was completely pointless in this film. The killer going around killing all of Lenore's friends isn't actually The Raven (even though I thought it was at first), its a ghost of a man who tried to rape her and after she electrified him, he becomes an angry spirit. But she must also become Lenore from Poe's works in order for her to actually be hurt from this guy...and thats her goal, to become Poe's Lenore and then she can be hurt by this guy.

It really is a testament to a film which doesn't explain anything where, as soon as its explained, it just raises further questions. Oh and don't ask me any more about the film because after actually finding the plot to this film out, I have put off ever actually questioning anything else because I'm sure if I get all the answers, I WILL go insane.
