action

Tim is turning 21 and that's supposed to be celebrated with a big party. Eight other friends join him, with whom he would like to celebrate on the family estate in Scotland. Too bad that there is still a uninvited tenth guest in the house. Friends first notice this after they have eaten together, and a loud scream echoes through the corridors of the old walls. When all friends finally arrive at the "crime scene", they can only find out that their friend Jo is dead. The only one missing is Jo's friend Tom.

You will soon find him too, albeit with empty eye sockets. And so finally find out the last survivors of the massacre, Emma and Andy, that the ghost of the vengeful Scot Murray haunts the house. He has been evicted from his property by Tim's ancestors in the past, but refused to leave and his eyes were torn out.

After each murder, the spirit of the old one wanders into the body of the next, usually the murderer of the previous host body. In the end, Tom is murdered by Emma, ​​whereupon Andy assumes that Murray's spirit is now in her body. He has barricaded himself in a room, against whose door Emma knocks inexorably and yells for admission. To prevent Andy from having to kill her and then the ghost spilling over onto him, she takes her own life.
