History[]
Constance Lenz was tired of her husband passing out drunk during sex and one night, sneaked into the attic where she kept her young son Billy captive. She raped him and nine months later, gave birth to Agnes. Due to Billy's liver condition that made his skin yellow, Constance hated him and seeing a "normal" baby Agnes, she openly exclaimed that "she's my family now" and put all of her effort into spoiling her newborn child.
One Christmas, 8-year-old Agnes is opening gifts from her mother when she hears noises upstairs, Constance assures her there's no one else in the house and goes to take a phone call. Billy sneaks downstairs and attacks Agnes in order to take revenge on his mother. He suffocates Agnes with a plastic bag and gouges her right eye out then devours it in-front of her. Agnes, severely injured, is still alive when the police arrive later to find Constance and her husband murdered.
Agnes was driven mad by this incident and was taken to a local orphanage asylum for life, where she also became obsessed with Billy. Years later, Agnes returns to her childhood home - which is now a sorority house - and begins picking off the remaining girls one by one. She first kills Clair Crosby and gouges out her own eyes just like what was done to her. Then later murdering Megan and decapitating Eve.
A few girls remain in the house as her father Billy leaves them threatening messages on the phone and they start to panic when Agnes and Billy cut-off the electricity. Dana goes out to try and fix it and is slaughtered by Agnes. Melissa, ventures onto the hallways alone and Agnes attacks her. Melissa fights back and beats her with a hockey stick before trying to escape. Agnes grabs a pair of ice skates and swings them at her head, slicing off part of her skull and killing her in the process.
Lauren, now unprotected, is strangled and impaled in the eye by a glass unicorn by Agnes, who then positions her as if she's asleep to trick Leigh and Kelli. Kyle arrives and is dragged into the attic by Agnes with Kelli and Leigh chasing after her. There, Kelli sees the corpses of her deceased sisters, all sat around the tree and posed by Agnes (with Eve's head as the tree-topper). Agnes and Kelli fight but they both fall down between the walls of the house. Billy arrives and joins Agnes in trying to kill Kelli.
Leigh drags Kelli to safety as the house is burned down with the Lenz's inside. Their bodies, presumed to be dead, are taken to the hospital where Kelli is recovering. Agnes escapes the morgue and crawls into the ceiling to find Kelli's room. Leigh arrives and is instantly killed by Agnes. As Kelli returns to her room, Agnes crawls down through the ceiling to kill her, but Kelli is prepared and uses defibrillator pads to electrocute and kill Agnes.
