Film Description:

Synopsis

When Mark, Parker, Melissa, and Karen decide to go camping in the small town of Pleasant Point, they find the town has much to offer... including a string of brutal murders. Mark convinces Melissa to go to a free session of the 'Fear Doctor', a local psychiatrist who helps rid people of their fears through his 'Fear Immersion' therapy, to help her get over her fear of heights so she can enjoy her vacation in the mountains. However, when Dr. Jamison meets her and notices that she bears a striking resemblance to his late wife, Grace, he begins to believe that she is in fact his wife who has finally come back to him. Dr. Jamison then kidnaps Melissa and takes her back to a secluded cabin and tries to convince her, as well as himself, that she is, in fact, his wife. When Melissa's friends find out what has happened to her, they must team up with the local police, rescue Melissa, bring down the psychotic doctor, and escape with their own lives before they are pushed past the point of fear.
