AbstractHistoryArchive Description

According to Robert Hood,

'This was Weir's first solo feature, a black comedy about a strange assortment of characters who spend a holiday at the isolated Homesdale Hunting Lodge. They are forced to enter into strange deathly games by the even stranger staff, while the distinction between what is real and what is fantasy gradually deteriorates.'
