Plasterhead (R)

synopsis

Headed to Miami to celebrate winter break, a group of four college students from New Jersey take a detour into the bowels of rural West Virginia. There, the unwitting friends uncover the grotesque legend of Ray Williams, a black truck driver from Maine, who was brutally beaten by a band of locals after stopping off in town for a drink. His body was left for dead in an empty cornfield and never found. Fifteen years later, whispers of the Williams incident still float through the tired walls and eaves of Rolling Glen. As the four friends quickly find out, some believe Williams still roams the woods on the outskirts of town, surviving on the slaughter of wildlife. Others claim to have seen Williams in person, a looming figure with a ghostly white visage, purportedly a makeshift cast to mask the scars and wounds left from the merciless assault. They have a name for Williams now: Plasterhead. Soon, the four friends find themselves holed up in an abandoned farmhouse, mired in a macabre web of terror and facing the truth that Plasterhead is frighteningly real. As these teens will soon learn, true evil has no face.
