Young couple Bobby and Tracy are living in a small, cramped apartment in a not so desirable part of town. Tracy is desperate to start a family and wants to get pregnant right away, but she refuses to raise a family in their current home. So they set out to find the perfect home to start a family in. Two close friends of theirs, married couple Scott and Merrill tell them about a place called The Commons. They tell Tracy and Bobby that it's a really exclusive place and when they told the realtor that they didn't plan on having anymore children they refused to give them a house. So Bobby and Tracy decided to go to The Commons and look at a house anyway.
They drive to a gate in a high class suburban neighborhood and are pleasantly surprised by how beautiful it is, although Bobby is skeptical. They are given a tour of the house by Candice, one of the more prominent members of The Commons. Tracy falls in love with the house instantly and is positive that this is where she wants to start a family. Bobby notices that all of the furniture from the previous owner is still in the home and Candice tells him the owner had to leave because of business. Bobby think it's a bit odd, but because Tracy wants the house, he ignores it. Two days later they get a call from Candice telling them that their application was accepted and they got the house. They go to sign papers and Candice tells them that are exactly the type of people they want in their community, which makes Bobby a bit uncomfortable.
They are greeted by a mob of seemingly perfect neighbors when they arrive to move in. Bobby is overwhelmed and has a strange feeling about the neighborhood but dismisses it. Months go by and strange things keep happening, but Tracy seems oblivious. Late one night while flipping through TV channels he comes across security tape of their neighbor undressing getting ready to cheat on her husband when her husband walks in and catches her. He recognizes the neighbor on the TV screen as their next door neighbors Ron and Sandra. Tracy tells him the follwing day that he was signed up for a community supprt meeting. He shows up only to see Ron and Sandra getting lectured because of Sandra's actions.
Candice tells her that her actions affect the whole community and it's up to Ron to decide her punishment for infidelity. The next day while Bobby is out shopping he sees Sanda tied to a post with a pig mask on having trash thrown at her while the townspeople call her names. She tells him that this was the punishment chosen and she accepts it. He takes the mask off of her and tells her she doesn't have to deal with this and everyone tells him to stay out of it. Later that night Candice arrives and tells Tracy and Bobby that she is concered that they haven't conceived yet. She said that if they read their contract correctly it states that if a child is not conceived within 6 months of moving in the house will be foreclosed on and they will be forced to leave The Commons (Really? Signing a contract to breed and open your very own baby mill?? Count me out).
Bobby asks his friend Scott to find the previous owner and talk to them to find out how they got out of the contract. Bobby tells him all of the strange rules and stipulations and about the security cameras in everyones house that show up on the TV. Scott calls back to tell him that there is no trace of the previous owner, and seems like he disappeared. He tells Bobby he needs to get Tracy and get out of there. He finds Tracy in the kitchen and she announces that she is pregnant and Bobby is devastated because now that she is pregnant they are being forced to stay in The Commons.
They go to the doctor the following day and see Sandra running around in the street yelling that someone is after her and then she gets hit by a car. No one seems concerned, saying that she jumped infront of the car because she was drunk and suicidal, which Bobby didn't believe. This scared Tracy so they came up with a plan to get out of The Commons. Tracy was with some friends when she pretended to faint and said she needed to go home and rest because of the baby. They snuck family friend Merrill into the house and snuck Tracy out. Merrill was disguised in a wig so she looked like Tracy on the security cameras in the bedroom. After a few days of not seeing Tracy everyone started getting suspicious. Candice showed up and saw Merrill and demanded to know where Tracy was. She tells Bobby that if he doesn't tell her where she is something unfortunate will happen to his friends and family.
They are questioning Bobby and he isn't cooperating so they drug him and he wakes up a few hours later on a couch. Phil, the neurotic neighbor from next door, comes over to make sure Bobby is ok and is staying in The Commons. Just then Phil pulls out a pair of scissors and tells Bobby that this is for him and then proceeds to stab Candice in the neck with the scissors. Bobby wakes up and runs into the woods to escape. The whole neighborhood comes outside with flashlights, shovels, and dogs to look for him. He runs up a hill and finds Scott and Tracy in a car waiting for him. Tracy gets out of the car and tells him that she is doing this for him and Scott says they are going to be neighbors now and then the townspeople come out of the woods and..
Ughhh! Somebody please check my pulse and make sure I'm still alive....I swear I may have died a little from complete and utter boredom!! BOO to this episode!!! I am totally disappointed. This episode sucked and the person that wrote it sucks. I was incredibly bored and could not wait for this shit to be over. That was 43 minutes of my life I'll never get back. Overall I'd give it a 1 out of 5. Yeahh! There was no blood (except for a few drops when the blonde bitch got stabbed), no gore, no nekkidness (No boobs, butt, or bush), no swearing...no nothing at all.I mean, horror stuff doesn't necessarily have to have all of those things to be good, but sweet Jesus put some blood and guts in there please!! It was a total snooze fest and I am so glad I never have to watch it again! Ok, so thats that. Since you're here wasting time, how about you waste some time and read Zanes stuff too!! He likes it when you look at his stuff. Trust me. =)
