Vincent King (Sean Kanan) and his wife, Mary Shelley (Juliet Landau), are two deranged cinephiles who decide to create the ultimate homage to classic horror films by shooting a snuff movie. When a group of college students, led by the studious Emily (Danica McKellar), sails to the King's remote island to study the local wildlife, the homicidal couple inherit the perfect cast for their horrific project.
