Cady Ellison picked up a new hobby during the pandemic and now creates videos of herself riding extreme roller coasters. A friend from college, Danny, is working at a theme park that’s about to open, and he invites her to ride Hysteria, a 650-foot-tall behemoth. She arrives at the park site to discover three other college friends are there to test the ride. This reunion puts the four of them in the coaster car, with Danny staying below to operate the ride. The restraints are so tight, they can barely move in their seats. When they get to the top, the view is staggering, and the drop looks even more intimidating. The coaster inches closer to the drop-closer-closer-then stops. After several minutes, the four begin to question what’s really going on. When Danny takes the maintenance stairs up to them, he reveals that he has been wanting to take revenge on them for years, and they will have to be truthful if they are to escape. Masters combines a psychological thriller with acrophobia (fear of heights) and veloxrotaphobia (fear of roller coasters), creating a read as intense as that feeling in the pit of your stomach as the coaster hits the drop. Smart, clever, and full of surprises, this drop is worth the ride.
