of the characters experience various supernatural events, resulting in two of them being killed off. The last character is all
that remains, but is ultimately killed off as well, and is then revealed to be the dead body from the start of the trailer.

The characters go into an abandoned house and die off one by one. The last person standing is revealed to be the

standing, but no one survives in
the end.
