Billy is locked away in a mental institution, never to be released. After 20yrs, he managed to escape from the asylum. In the meantime, Billy's childhood house is now occupied by 8 sorority sisters (Katie Cassidy, Lacey Chabert, Crystal Lowe, Jessica Harmon, Leela Savasta, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jessica Harmon, and Michelle Trachtenberg) and their housemother (Andrea Martin). During a filthy storm at Christmas time, the sorority sisters find themselves being threatened by mysterious phone calls from a man claiming to be Billy himself. From the beginning there are many questions like who were Billy and Agnes? Were they both killers? Or was it an insane Billy acting alone but channeling his psychotic sister? And just what did Billy do to the baby Agnes, all those years ago?
The film is genuinely scary but the murder sequence is very well planned and creative which makes the movie a breath-taking black film.
