But when their car breaks down in Oregon, they're forced to stay in a remote cabin overnight, where they are terrorised by three masked strangers with seemingly no motive.

Giving fans an idea of what to expect from the next two films, Madelaine previously told Variety: "Throughout every step of the next two films it's just, 'How is she going to get out of this terrorizing situation?'
