plays an ambitious game of religious debate while trying to keep viewers glued to the edges of their seats. The film has a simple premise: two Mormon missionaries, Sister Barnes and Sister Paxton are out on a routine missionary drive to recruit new followers, and they happen upon the remote cottage home of one “Mr. Reed” who lures the girls inside with the promise of serving his wife’s blueberry pie.
Reed meets Paxton in this storage room and gives her a final quiz: After going the the progression of the evening, facing all the questions and challenges presented: What is the one true religion?. Mr. Reed is nothing more than a mysogonist and psychopath serial killer, masquerading as an intellectual to sadistically toy with people’s faith.
Reed delights in the idea that he has manipulated Sister Paxton through every step the evening in order to bring her exactly to the point where he wanted her – either as another one of his slaves, or his latest kill. In his arrogance, Reed believes that Paxton is a people-pleasing sheep – which is why he never suspects that she is packing a ritual dagger that Barnes stole from his collections of religious artifacts. Paxton stabs Reed in the neck and makes a run for it.
Paxton’s prayers get answered in the form of Sister Barnes, thought dead after having her throat slashed, getting one last spark of life to get up and bash Reed, finishing him off. Barnes then dies in Paxton’s arms, before Paxton escapes the maze-like house and emerges into the new daylight after the snowstorm.
