Storyline
In an underground laboratory, engineers Gary Sitterson and Steve Hadley discuss plans for a mysterious ritual, after a similar operation in Stockholm has just ended in failure. From the lab, Sitterson and Hadley remotely control the cabin and manipulate the students by intoxicating them with mind-altering drugs that have effects such as hindering rational thinking and increasing libido. In the cabin’s cellar, the group finds bizarre objects, including the diary of Patience Buckner, a cabin resident abused by her sadistic family.

Novelizations aren’t just a transcription of the film story. They also add details and backstory to the plot in a literary way.
“I liked the film very much but I found working on it incredibly stressful; I would probably not adapt my own work again - you need to have distance from the book.”
