School nerd Martin helps three school friends, Mike, Geoff and Frankie avoid a school field trip to Wales by taking all three of them, along with his dream-girl Liz (Thora Birch), to an old underground bunker. Together the teenagers party non-stop for three days in their sound-proof shelter, but when Martin doesn't return to let them out, the party atmosphere changes quickly into a living nightmare. Liz is found a few days later walking towards the school, covered in blood and traumatised. She is taken to a police psychologist where she tells her story; but when Martin is later picked up, he gives a very different account.

Brittany Murphy stars in this psychological thriller as Alice, an emotionally fragile young screenwriter who retreats to a remote house in order to get her latest script finished on time. A severe case of writer's block and a series of mysterious and terrifying occurences in the house conspire to drive her to a nervous breakdown. Thora Birch and Tammy Maynard co-star.

Lester is a 42-year-old man living in the suburbs, and working a boring job in advertising. His wife Carolyn is an ambitious realtor; his rebellious and confused daughter Jane is an average teenager, unhappy with her physical appearance and harboring resentment for her father because of the lack of attention he shows her.

Dissatisfied with his nondescript life and sexually frustrated by his wife, Lester finds motivation for transforming himself after meeting Angela Hayes, Jane's best friend and classmate. Angela, a beautiful, confident, and supposedly promiscuous cheerleader who aspires to be a model, captivates Lester the moment he sees her perform a school dance routine, and he develops an obvious crush on her, much to Jane's embarrassment.

From here on, things take a turn down a sad, twisted and sometimes humorous road.
