Plot summary
On a rainy night a young couple driving through the city turn into a deserted alley and find a badly wounded woman lying in blood. She says one word, kolobos, and passes out. The story moves back thirty-six hours. Kyra Mitchell, an artist who lives in a group home and takes anxiety medication, has answered an ad seeking people to take part in a film that will record their daily lives. In return she gets free lodging and meals in a furnished house in the mountains. Her roommates are Tom, Erica, Gary and Tina; Carl runs the project. Kyra shows them her dark drawings but says nothing about the faceless figure who appears in her nightmares and in her waking dreams. When night comes, the house seals shut with them inside, and a faceless killer stalks them.

Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Kolobos (1999)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Kolobos's original ending had to be scrapped during filming because a filter had been left on the camera from an earlier exterior shot. It would have shown Kyra and Dorothy talking in an art gallery, then Kyra mutilating her face with a straight razor in the gallery's bathroom.
- Without that scrapped scene, the movie was set to end with Kyra escaping the house, until the editor noticed the completed cut ran only 64 minutes and more scenes had to be written to lengthen it.
SPOILER
Ocvirk has said writing the added scenes was difficult because he, Ebong and Liatowitsch disagreed on how the story should progress. They settled on ending the film by revealing that the whole ordeal took place in Kyra's head, adding her rescue and hospital scenes.
