It was 3 in the morning when Emily's scream pierced the silence of the forest. Jack! she cried, running barefoot through the dark trees, blood dripping from her arm. Behind her, Cabin 13 was engulfed in mysterious flames, and whispers echoed from within. You will not leave alive. At that moment, Emily realized what began as a weekend getaway had turned into a living nightmare. No signal, no way back, and the cabin they rented wasn't on any map.
Back to the beginning, three days earlier, 4 American friends arrived in Germany's Black Forest for a weekend escape. Jack Miller, adventurous photographer Emily Stone, horror novelist Michael Harris, tech engineer Sarah Collins, historian and religion expert. They rented a remote wooden cabin through a mysterious German website, Dirt Cheap. The number carved into the door, thirteen. They ignored the local warnings about the cursed cabin, thinking it was just folklore.
On the first night, things began to change. They heard knocking at the door. No one was there.
On the second night, Sarah vanished. Her camera was found on the ground, recording whispers in an unknown language.
On the third night, Michael started speaking Latin in his sleep, drawing symbols on the walls. Jack tried calling the police. His phone exploded. Emily, who had been writing a novel about a cursed cabin, noticed everything happening matched her story exactly.
They discovered Cabin 13 was once the site of a secret cult in the 17th century, performing rituals to summon the Eternal Shadow. Anyone who stayed three nights became part of the ritual, Sarah was the first victim, Michael became the vessel, Jack disappeared into the forest.
Emily, the last one left, found an ancient book hidden beneath the floorboards. It contained A banishment spell, but it had to be read inside the cabin. At the moment of the full moon.
Emily entered the burning cabin, chanting the spell as spirits screamed around her. At the final moment, Jack appeared, half his face burned. Don't stop, they're weakening! With the last word of the spell, the cabin exploded in a blinding white light. Everything vanished.
A week later, Emily was found in a hospital, memory erased. The cabin? No trace, but in one of Jack's old phones. Cabin 13 appeared behind them.
