On an otherwise ordinary night, the young Ian Stone encounters a mysterious creature and is forced into the path of an oncoming train.

DVD Special Features:
Lake Dead Synopsis: In this unrated DVD, three beautiful sisters discover they have a long lost grandfather, but only after the news of his grisly death. When they learn about an inheritance, they decide to travel with their friends to their grandfather’s home in the back country.
When they arrive, they find their inherited property occupied by a psychotic family that is engaging in a murderous rampage. As the family’s twisted motives unspool, the sisters discover a new level of terror worse than death.

Borderland Synopsis: Borderland, available on unrated DVD, is a criminal tale of murder and ritual. The story, based on true events, blends the raw fear of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the stark reality of In Cold Blood and evokes a world soaked in paranoia, fear, and dread.
