Jacob Aaron Estes

The third entry into the American videotape horror franchise turns back the clock to tell the tale of how the cursed tape came to be.

Teenagers living in small-town Oregon take a boat trip for a birthday celebration. When they get an idea to play a mean trick on the town bully, it suddenly goes too far. Soon they're forced to deal with the unexpected consequences of their actions.

Written and directed by Jacob Aaron Estes (Mean Creek), an absurd domestic comedy that starts with a simple raccoon infestation. The problem sets off a chaotic chain of events leading to infidelity issues that threaten to break up a married couple (played by Tobey Maguire and Elisabeth Banks).
