Hideaway Plot Summary

What happens in Hideaway from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 13 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

In this unsettling supernatural thriller, a devil-worshiping killer completes a ritual that begins with murder and a ritualistic display of Satanic imagery. After reciting the Lord’s Prayer backwards in a candlelit room, he ends his life by throwing himself onto an athame, hoping to seal his damnation. What follows is a visceral near-death journey: the killer’s soul flies through tunnels of light, encounters a vast, tentacle-like being of luminous presence, and, after a rapid montage of recent brutal murders, is dragged down into Hell.
