Timber Falls

Timber Falls is a 2007 American horror film directed by Tony Giglio and starring Josh Randall and Brianna Brown.

The film begins with a couple (Sarah and James) held captive and tortured in a dark dungeon.

Sarah runs away from a disfigured man in a black trench coat (Deacon) with a double blade sickle.

The following scene shows another couple—Sheryl (Brianna Brown), and Mike (Josh Randall)—going on a hiking trip for the week.

The two face a trio of unfriendly hunters while making love, who try to sell them their self-made alcohol and warn them to be careful about what they do in the woods.

He finds Sheryl tied up and gagged in a room and frees her, but at that very moment, they confront Deacon - Ida's brother.

During the couple's confinement, Deacon tries to rape Sheryl several times but fails due to Ida and Clyde's dissuasion.

After a few days pass, Ida grows impatient and threatens Mike to torture Sheryl in front of him if he doesn't obey them.

One hunter finds a secret door to the cabin's basement but is killed by Clyde, only after Mike manages to yell for help.

Ida emerges from the basement and stabs Mike with a knife, Sheryl quickly decapitates her with Deacon's sickle.

She patches up Mike's wound and calls the Rangers Post with her cell phone, finally ending their sufferings.

As the movie ends, the camera fades over to the window where Deacon's double blade sickle suddenly appears.
