9	In late 2012, a group of documentary filmmakers decided to make a [=TV=] documentary about the infamous Cain Hill Mental Institute, which was shut down over a decade prior following a mysterious fire that killed many patients and orderlies. The guys of the group, Richard (Edward Elgood), Marcus (Jason York), Leonard (Tony Cook), Steve (Ben Mansbridge), and Michael (David Whitney) all meet up in a hotel room before picking up a local who knows the stories of the place, Mary (Hannah Jacobs), and of one of its most infamous inmates, Chester Lockhart. Their plan is to spend the weekend in the asylum, gathering footage that they can use.

16	!!''Cain Hill'' contains examples of:
17	* AbandonedHospital: Cain Hill, of course. It's been shut down for over a decade by the time the events of the movie take place.
18	* AlmostKiss: Richard and Mary have one in the pub before heading off to Cain Hill.
19	* BaitAndSwitch: The first shot of the film is of a woman trying to hide from a killer, only to be found and chopped... then we see it's a bunch of filmmakers shooting a scene for a movie.
20	* BeardOfEvil: Chester has a massive beard.
21	* CreepyDoll: While Marcus is walking around the upper floors collecting footage, he walks into a room, and the camera (not the one Marcus is holding) zooms in on one of these sitting in a chair. [[spoiler:It's later seen at the end of the film as a part of a crime scene.]]
22	* DestroyTheSecurityCamera: As he moves about the building, Chester destroys all the security cameras the team set up.
