The Flower Bath Horror

Four friends arrive at a run down hot springs resort, the site of an ancient volcano and marshland.

For Carl and Jenna, the getaway weekend means some quality relationship time.

For Tim and Amanda, their friends, it's not just a blind date – it's a blind weekend.

Things go wrong when they get lost on the way there.

Things get worse when they find their destination – a remote, almost forgotten research station, with a few neglected holiday cottages.

This is the site of the ancient Eye, a volcanic upwelling of heated water from deep within the Earth.

Here, scientists have discovered fossils of giant, mutated beasts from 700,000 years ago, and the 300,000 year skull of an early hominid.

The supposed healing waters of the ancient Eye, hold many secrets.

The staff, and a visiting scientist at the resort and research centre, are quite eerie.

Slowly, the minds of the four friends become deranged or mutated, and they lose their sense of reality, unknowingly succumbing to chaos,confusion and even death.

There are forces beyond anyone's control at work, and beings never before encountered, which warp our expected realities.

Will Carl and Jenna survive Jenna's blind and inexplicable rage? Will Tim and Amanda manage to save their newly found romance?And will any of them find their way out, or be forever transformed?
