Nomination Year: 2013
SYNOPSIS: Three eccentric millionaires get their kicks by offering a cool (ha!)
million to one of a group of young people. The catch: the winner must be the "last man standing" after attempting to spend the weekend at their compound. What ensues is a series of strange encounters and booby traps, where people go missing as much as get killed one by one. A mysterious hunchback appears from time to time. In the end, it looks like the hunchback is really a cop….or is he?! And the deaths were all faked…or were they?! And maybe a mysterious power/creature really was unleashed by the millionaires' shenanigans… OR WAS IT?!

The (Not-So) Giant (Not-So) Spider Invasion, Home Version It's subtle, but you can hear the Sheriff's office scene from The Giant Spider Invasion playing in the background (with Alan Hale, Jr.). Something's under the sheets! You think it's a spider, 'cause there's a real one in the room with her. Then: POW! Up pops an Aliens/Cujo/E.T. puppet sneezing blood on our heroine!

An Out-of-Boa Experience For no apparent reason, the law student's astral body goes for a swim with a big snake in the pool. Then we're a fly on the wall. Or something. No clue.

 Crummiest Ending |
|
Cold and Crummy End Suddenly this cold-creature appears and turns on the gamesters, who appear to have been frozen to death in the sauna. Walker comes back and witnesses the creature, then leaves. But…was this all just another level of the crazy millionaires' games? No clue. Even the narrator doesn't' t know or care.
