The story
Following the events of the first film, three masked strangers—Dollface, Pin-Up Girl, and the Man in the Mask—arrive at a secluded trailer park in Kalida, Ohio, and murder a middle-aged couple. The next day, a family of four—including a mother, father, and two children—arrives at the same park to spend time together before one of the children leaves for boarding school. Upon their arrival, the family is confronted by the masked intruders, leading to a desperate struggle for survival as they are hunted through the secluded grounds.
Full plot (contains spoilers)
After the masked strangers murder a couple at a trailer park, a family of four arrives to spend a final day together before one daughter leaves for school. The family is soon targeted by the same three masked killers: Dollface, Pin-Up Girl, and the Man in the Mask. During the chaos, the children, Luke and Kinsey, are separated from their parents. Cindy is killed by Dollface after trying to hide Kinsey. Mike and Luke find the bodies of the previous victims and eventually face the Man in the Mask. After a series of violent encounters, Mike is killed, and Luke and Kinsey are forced to flee separately. Luke eventually finds and rescues Kinsey after she is attacked by Pin-Up Girl. They are later separated again as Luke is injured and left for dead in a pool. Kinsey eventually faces Dollface and the Man in the Mask. She manages to wound and eventually kill Dollice, and later survives a final confrontation with the Man in the Mask after a vehicle explosion. The film ends with Kinsey and Luke in a hospital, where Kinsey is startled by the sound of someone knocking on her door.
