Monster In The Woods

The film starts in a parking area, where Arin a famous
YouTuber is recording his assistant Pete unloading gear
from the van. As Arin doesn’t want to miss out on anything,
he keeps recording in spite of Pete’s suggestion of not doing
so as the media is very less. But Arin doesn’t listen to him
and keeps recording.

Arin leads the way but isn’t paying much attention to the
map. Pete gets frustrated with this and takes the lead saying
he needs B-roll footage for editing.

As soon as Pete takes the lead and steps aside and takes a
few steps past the host, his leg gets stuck in a bear trap. Pete
lets out an agonizing scream. But Arin doesn’t care about it,
and picks up the camera and starts shooting Pete. Pete gets
angry and asks him to help him out. Arin makes a bandage
out of Pete’s over-shirt and wraps it up around his leg, but
suddenly they hear some rustles coming from a tarp, which
is behind some trees, perfectly blended into the surrounding.

Berkerly, a grim looking wildman emerges from the tarp.
He has a worn machete and a mask. Arin & Pete gets
frightened as Berkerly lunges towards them.

In the next scene , we see that Pete is crawling towards the
camera. He gets it and faces it towards Arin who is negotiating with Berkerly that, if they does this interview, it will be showcased in different film festivals around the world. Listening to this, Berkerly agrees to for the interview.

In the night everybody is walking towards Berkerly’s
campsite. Pete is slung over Berkerly’s sholder and Arin
follows them with camera facing on Pete and Berkerly. Pete
is not optimistic about the situation as Arin, so he tells Arin
that he is not feeling comfortable and he doesn’t want to die
like this. But Arin assures him that, everything is fine and as
soon as they are done, they will go home.

Everybody reaches the campsite. There is an uninviting
cabin set in front of a fire pit. Everybody goes in. The cabin
looks like, it’s been built with anything it’s owner could
find. Berekerly sits down Pete on a scrap built chair and
Arin hands over the camera to Pete. Pete is still unsure
about the whole idea of interview, but Arin doesn’t listen.

Everybody takes their places. Berkerly is sitting next to
Arin unmasked, with a machete in his hand. Berkerly is
staring wide into the lens, mesmerised by its power.
Arin begins the interview, but Berkerly is still staring. Arin
asks some questions to him but he doesn’t reply them
properly and asks Arin that rather people would watch that
or not. Arin assures him that people are going to watch it as
it not often when murderers are interviewed on the field and
he has 2 million subscribers on his channel.

Berkerly continues to stare, while Arin asks him something
about a murder. In spite of answering that, he says why
didn’t you try to take him out from here. Arin pauses and
tries to understand. Berkerly points his machete towards
Pete and focuses on Arin and says that, there are high
chance of that wound becoming infected. But Arin seems to
be too absorbed with this opportunity to be concerned for
Pete’s wellbeing. He tells Berkerly that, it is not important,
and we should focus on our interview. Berkerly turns
towards Pete and asks him that was he always such a dick?
In response Pete agrees with him. Arin tells Pete to pay
focus on work as he is not paying him to talk.

Looking at Arin being such an asshole, angre Berkerly
grabs him from the throat and starts choking him against his
seat. Arin panics but still excited to be a part of such a
ground breaking documentary. He tells Pete to keep recording. Berkerly looks over to Pete staring in the camera while maintaining his grip on throat. Eventually Arin limps down on seat.

Berkerly strides towards Pete, Pete cowers back and
Berkerly takes the camera from him and start staring at it
again, still hypnotised by its power. Terrified Pete thanks
Berkerly for killing Arin first. In response, Berkerly says
“No problem” and we see that camera is set aside focusing
on ceiling, we can hear Pete screaming and thrashing
violently.

We see that camera is off center like resting on the chair,
across from them we see Pete negotiating with Berkerly.
Arin groans a little. Berkerly tells Pete to hold on and picks
up his machete and buries it inside Arin’s body a few times.

In the next scene, we see that Pete is sitting at a table,
working on his laptop. Berkerly is standing over his
shoulder watching. Here Pete tells him that, on internet no
one would believe that he is a serial killer. Listening to this,
for the first time Berekerly smiles.

After that, we see that Berkerly is staring into the camera
blankly holding a human skull opened from the top, and
says to the camera that next time he will teach how to make
a bowl out of human skull.

In the post credit scene, we see that the camera is sit
focused on Pete, who is eating a cereal out of the bowl skull
and we can hear Berkerly walking around in the back.
