In this episode of The Room Went Dark, Amalie and Lorraine break down the chilling horror film The Utah Cabin Murders, a low-budget thriller inspired by a real-life tragedy. What begins as a peaceful family getaway in a remote cabin quickly spirals into a brutal home invasion—and a desperate fight for survival.

We explore the film’s story, its real-world inspiration, and whether it succeeds as a horror retelling… or misses the mark.

The Tiede family spent quality family time at their cabin in Oakley, Utah. Rolf and Kay Tiede are joined by their two daughters, Linae and Tricia, and Kaye's mother, Beth Potts. In December 1990 Von Lester Taylor and Edward Steven Deli would enter the home and murder Kay and Beth, kidnap Linae and Tricia and attempt to murder Rolf. Luckily the two girls and their father would survive the horrific ordeal.
