Inheritance

A contained horror film taking place in the Oregonian wilderness that deals with mental illness, death, masculinity, the father/son dynamic, and overcoming trauma.

When he receives news of his abusive, semi-estranged father's death, James Danforth leaves the comfort of his cushy suburban home to visit the old hunting cabin his father left him. Once he there, he becomes snowed in. The only communication he has is with a strange man who calls himself Awful Edgar contacting him through his father's CB radio.

Awful Edgar claims to have known James' father, but as the days pass and the food supplies run low he becomes stranger and more menacing. He knows things he couldn't possibly know. As James becomes desperate, he is forced to give up his personal convictions in order to survive in the wilderness. He must confront his past and his memories of his abusive father if he hopes to survive.

If Awful Edgar doesn't kill him first.
