What to expect from Something Very Bad is Going to Happen
The story centres on Rachel and Nicky as they prepare for their upcoming nuptials at the groom’s secluded family cabin.
But as they embark on the long car journey to the cabin, a series of eerie events begins to unfold.

“Rachel is getting married in five days. Together with her fiancé, Nicky, she embarks on a road trip to his family’s vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams.

Her foreboding doubts, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What makes two people soulmates? And worse — what could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?”
