Red Hill Paradise
After welcoming their first child to their family and exhausted from all the new responsibilities that come with parenthood, Elliot and Erica decide a trip to the mountains is just what their new family needs. They find a rental online - a cabin listed as Red Hill Paradise. They arrive at the beautiful, isolated hillside retreat, and everything seems perfect. The cabin is quaint and cozy. The woods are peaceful and the sunset on the hillside is gorgeous. The neighbors, folks who have lived on Red Hill for decades, are strange, but nice. There are sounds from the trees though. A quiet slithering through the dead, fallen leaves. Soft whispers of danger to come. Red Hill holds secrets, and this young family is about to find out that this place may not be an idyllic paradise after all.

But something is stirring in the mall. Something hungry.
