Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
The film begins ''in medias res'' to a dazed and bloodied Brandy (Schaefer) being put in a truck and driven off. Days earlier, a group of friends from Ohio—Brandy, her boyfriend Zack (Andrews), cameraman Jeff (Larson), Bobby (Roe), and Mikey (Roe)—decide to take a trip south to visit some of America's scariest and extreme Haunted attraction (simulated) in the days leading up to Halloween. They plan to record their experiences in the haunted houses as well as interview actors who work there. This leads to disturbing revelations about the establishments' operations, such as failure to perform background checks, utilizing criminals and disturbed individuals as actors, using real corpses and body parts as props, and performing increasingly dangerous stunts for the sake of scares.
