Encounter with the Unknown
Watch TrailerThree eerie tales based on actual events are enacted in this film. First, three college students play a prank on a geeky classmate, who is accidentally shot and killed. His vengeful mother forecasts the deaths of the three young men she holds responsible, on 7, 14, and 21 days hence. And, one by one, her grim predictions come true. Next, a ghoulish sound emanates from a mist-shrouded hole in the Earth near where a Missouri boy has lost his dog. The boy's father is lowered into the hole and lets out an agonizing scream! Finally, a senator returning home from a party finds a lost girl on a bridge and learns from her father that she died years earlier

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its unease by relying on the purported factual basis of its tales, presenting them with a stark, matter-of-fact simplicity. It explores the horror of the inexplicable intruding upon the ordinary through straightforward visual storytelling.
What lingers after viewing is the chill of these compact urban legends, where the terror stems from a breach in rational understanding. The mundane world feels permanently altered. — MovieFinder Editorial

Watch late at night with the lights down low for an anthology of campfire-style tales.
