The Retreat (Silent Scream)
2005 · Movie · 90 min. · United States
A group of college students head out to a cottage in the woods for a long weekend vacation. No sooner have they arrived, when several of the teens wander off into the woods and disappear. More students arrive the next day. They find the mutilated remains of their friends buried in the snow. It seems someone in the woods is out to get them. The remaining teens try to escape, but one by one, the mysterious "figure" hunts them down and kills them. Nicole (Melissa Schuman) is the last survivor. When she is garotted by the figure, she wakes up to find herself in her psychology class (with all her friends alive) having been put under mind control. The whole experience was a dream, part of an experiment conducted by their professor. To thank them all for their help in his experiments, he invites them all to his cottage in the woods for the weekend.
