Plot

In 1974, at the Glenville Sanatorium in West Virginia, Three Finger, Saw Tooth, and One Eye; known as the Hillicker Brothers, escape from their cells and release the other patients. Together, they brutally massacre the orderlies and doctors.

Twenty-nine years later, in 2003, nine Weston University students – Kenia, Jenna, Vincent, Sara, Bridget, Kyle, Claire, Daniel and Lauren – spend their winter break snowmobiling on the way to their friend Porter's cabin in the mountains. However, they get lost in a snowstorm and are forced to take shelter in the Glensville Sanatorium for the night, where the Hillickers are living. Lauren remembers her brother's stories about the sanatorium and the cannibals, but her friends don't believe her. As the group goes to bed, Vincent continues to explore the asylum where he finds Porter's corpse before Saw Tooth kills him with a metal spike. The next day, with the storm still in full effect, the teens remain trapped. Jenna comes across the Hillickers butchering Porter's body in the kitchen and runs back to warn the others. After Porter's severed head is thrown at the group, Claire is hung from a balcony with barbed wire by the trio and decapitated. The group attempts to flee the building but the spark plug wires from their snowmobiles have been taken out. Lauren skis down the mountain to seek help while the others barricade themselves in the doctor's office.

Kyle, Daniel, and Sara go into the basement to get weapons, but Daniel gets abducted, tied to a table in the kitchen, and slowly butchered and eaten alive. The rest of the group chases the cannibals and locks them in a cell as Kyle stays behind to watch the brothers while the others search for the spark-plug wires. When Kyle falls asleep, the brothers escape their cell and the girls accidentally stab Kyle to death after mistaking him as one of the Hillickers. The brothers appear and chase the girls through the building, forcing them to exit through a window but Jenna is killed before she could escape. The remaining girls are ambushed by the cannibals who used the group's snowmobiles to chase them outside, where Kenia gets injured and Bridget is killed by One Eye.

As the day dawns, Lauren has frozen to death in the storm a few yards away from a highway. Kenia is still being chased by One Eye when Sara reappears and knocks him off the snowmobile, allowing the pair to steal it. As they drive away, they accidentally run to a strip of barbed wire, decapitating them. Three Finger picks up their heads and puts them in their tow truck, before moving away from the sanatorium with his brothers.
