Synopsis: This movie is about a mother (Alice Maguire) and her three daughters who are trying to get to the airport to pick up Mr Maguire, the daughter's father. But on the way there is a tornado warning and the trip starts to get too dangerous so they stop on the highway and run to a house to take shelter. Nobody answers the door so they all get in to the cellar to wait out the storm. But then they discover that there is somebody in the house above them, and then they become trapped in the cellar. But there's more to worry about than the impending storm, and their lives become endangered, by something that's not normal.

I do not know why not

could hear.

What the hell?

What are they doing?

I do not know.

What was that? - I'm ready to

try the window. - Good.

Look for something on the shelf to pass

on her arm. Go.

What is this sh*t?

Rope.

Mother, a rope.

This is soft.

All right, dear.

Be calm.

All right, dear.

I will not tell your father that

you cried. I promise.

What he bit her?

I do not know.

Do not worry, but Sally is...

wound.

We are still in the basement.

Will it be good?

- Yes

We need to take her to hospital.

As soon as possible.

What happened to her?

I do not know.

I think she was bitten by a dog.

Mother,

did you see his arm?

I know.

- What?

Not like a dog bite.

- What else?

It seems...

It looks very clean...

- Jennifer, please.

We take you immediately

to the hospital.

It's okay. Come on,

keep an eye on little Sally.

Push.

More power.

- Push.

The windows.

What the f*** is wrong with these

people? Let us out.

We are alone.

What we have now?

I do not know.

We are trapped. Sally is unconscious.

Someone wants to keep us here.

Please help us.

We are in Wellsville.

Jen, we need to clean the wound Sally.

There is water. - Where?

- On a shelf in the corner.

Alright. Bring us a little.

Another storm.

Yes, the radio said they would

storm all night.

I'm going to get water.

Come on.

Oh my God. - I wish

his father was here.

What's that smell?

- There is water.

Definitely not water.

- What is it? - It is chloroform.

What? Why?

It alcohol.

Let's use to clean the wound.

It will hurt like hell.

Give me that I clean.

Okay, honey. Will start.

Mother, stop it.

Mom!

Mama.

Over. Lie down in silence.

Everything will be alright. I promise.

Jennifer...

Stay with me.

- I will, Sally.

I will not allow something to happen.

I love you, Jennifer.

I love you, Sally.

Sleep. Get some rest now.

We will find a way to

get her out.

Are you all right?

There must be a way to

out of this cellar.

Perhaps the door leading up.

- We have a kind of battery?

We do not have.

Jen, you have a lighter?

No. He was in the car.

Jennifer, check the pockets

Sally.

What?

- Do not want you to be angry with Sally.

When we were in the car

she took his lighter.

Really? - Yes She thought you without it

not smoke and would be lighter.

Are you serious?

- Yes Check your pockets.

I can not believe.

- Sally saved the day.

I promise you, Sally.

No more cigarettes, ok.

Jen.

Hello, Barney.

- Hello, Mrs. Shurman.

Leave the rain, the love of God.

Dry yourself.

You want some coffee? He is still hot.

- That would be great. Thank you.

Did anything? - Biscuits before

out. You want one? - Sure.

The tornado went right through us.

Dropped a lot of trees and poles.

It will be a problem to fix.

- It is not over yet.

Bad weather will last all night.

- I heard. I love this time of year.

I'll never panic.

People around you are crazy.

Yes, I noticed. It surprises me that is not

in the basement waiting out the storm.

Well, I prefer to wait here. - Making

cookies? - It calms the nerves.

Mrs. Shurman, has not said

the reason why I came. - Yes?

Up ahead there's a car.

- Really?

Yes, ma'am. It belongs to the ladies who

traveled to Kansas City. You saw them?

Why did not I?

Well, I certainly do not see them.

Mrs. Shurman, of which the car is

in the ditch beside the road.

Perfect.

I hope you are well.

Are you sure you did not go through here?

It seems to me to come here first.

Maybe they caught a ride.

As you said you were?

Four. The mother and three daughters.

- Those who were

traveling to Kansas City?

- Yes, the woman went to fetch

her husband at the airport.

Hello, Barney. I see the weather improved.

- Hello, Sheriff. Do not know you were here.

Was locking the basement.

- Yes, that's what I wanted to ask.

Well you warned.

- We do not want to flood.

There are many valuable things in

basement of an old lady.

Of course.

Well, better get back on the road.

Nonsense. Stay and drink a coffee.

You know, Albert, I would, but I'm really

worried because of some travelers.

You probably will find

Jacob on the Farm.

- Probably. - Surely you do not

can persuade him to another cup of coffee?

All that remained was this insanity now.

- I'm sure I'll come back quick.

- Yes Thanks for the coffee, Mrs. Shurman,

- ... but I have to check where they are

those ladies. - Be careful, Barney.

- And do not forget to compliment

his beautiful bride. - I will.

See you later.

Who knows how long this will take.

Oh my...

Did you forget your cookie.

Ouu...

Wow.

- What's his name?

- A small tornado.

Sympathetic. Good night, folks.

If something happens, you will

having to explain to his wife.

It should not have married to begin with.

Especially in a time of storm.

Give me.

- This is for the father?

- Yes

These storms are very

stronger than before.

Calm down.

- There began an attack claustrophobia?

- Just a little uneasy.

I'm surprised you came to help us.

After trying to leave us this time of year.

Storms do not affect the form

how I used to be.

The teeth hurt me.

And that's all.

This is what you inherited from me

and family.

- I wish you and my brother were so.

- If the storm is super close,

- I will not be able to control myself.

- I will tell to Rhodes,

to let the boys tonight

- ... to appreciate the storm.

- Herschel was already out there.

You know how Herschel is.

He always had a free spirit.

Was bitten by one of our

a few days ago.

- And Tommy? - In the basement. I took the

storm before he was shot.

I was hoping it would

help remedy. You know that

these things for the boys never

work properly.

I had to chain him and gave him a bit

more chloroform to calm him.

Probably not by much

time will remain so.

Too bad for the family

down there.

It would be really cool.

Is there anybody out there?

Hello?

Hello

- Hello

Here is Carr, Wellsville police.

Thank God. Please help.

We are trapped.

Wait a minute.

Let's see if I can take it.

- What are you doing down there?

- Get us out of here.

- Are you all right?

- My daughter needs help.

- I'll call the woman who lives here.

- No!

- What?

- Is it that we locked it.

Alright. Let's take them there. Smokey

by hand, I'll pull you up.

No.

Herschel, calm down.
