A female journalist named Taylor Gentry and her two cameramen, Doug and Todd, document the preparations of Leslie Vernon as he prepares to join the ranks of other slasher villains. Leslie takes his identity from an urban legend about a boy who killed his family and was cast into a river by angry townsfolk.He initially claims to be the vengeful spirit of the slain boy but soon admits that he is an ordinary man named Leslie Mancuso who must rely on conventional tactics rather than supernatural powers. Taylor and her crew film Leslies meticulous preparations to slaughter a number of teenagers in an abandoned house and then be confronted by a virginal survivor girl, Kelly. Taylor and her crew come to share Leslies enthusiasm for his project, but their consciences catch up with them on the night of the murders. ........
