Background

Holden McCrea is a college football player. He transferred from the State University. Holden took Latin in 10th grade.

During the events of The Cabin in the Woods (2011) played by Jesse Williams

Curt walks into Dana's apartment and throws a football out the window, which Holden catches. They pack their things in Curt's father's RV and see Marty drive up smoking from a giant bong that collapses into a coffee mug. They then drive towards Curtis' cousin's cabin. Jules tells Curt that the road they are on isn't on the GPS and Marty rambles about society needing to crumble. Curt pulls over to get gas and Holden goes inside and is surprised by Mordecai, who gets upset about them stopping by when the sign says closed. Curt asks if they can get some gas and Holden asks for directions. Mordecai tells them that the road dead ends at the Buckner home. Marty insults Mordecai after Mordecai has insulted the other members of the group and Mordecai insults Jules and calls her a whore. They drive off after getting their gas and drive through a tunnel carved into a mountain. They arrive at the cabin and go inside and everyone picks their room. Holden's room has a painting of a group of men and dogs graphically slaughtering a lamb. Holden removes the painting and finds a two way mirror with Dana on the other side of it. When Dana starts to take off her shirt, Holden knocks on the wall and then he shows the others the mirror. Holden offers to switch rooms with Dana. They start to play Truth or Dare. The door to the cellar suddenly flies open and Jules dares Dana to go into the cellar. She screams and the others go into the cellar and find it full of artifacts. Dana finds a journal written by Patience Buckner in 1903 and starts to read from it. It describes the torture of people by the Buckner family. At the end of the journal is a phrase in Latin that Dana reads, despite Marty's misgivings. Curt and Jules leave the cabin to have sex. As Marty is peeing, Curt runs up to him and tells him to run and they run into the cabin. Dana opens the cabin door to look for Jules and Matthew Buckner is standing outside the door and throws Jules' head to Dana. Curt suggests they stay together, but suddenly suggests they should split up. Holden breaks the mirror leading to Dana's room and Dana finds a cellar door which they use. Dana realizes the room they are in is the black room where people were tortured. Matthew Buckner uses the bear trap to grab Holden and Dana takes a hook and shoves it through Matthew's eye. She then repeatedly stabs Matthew with a knife. Curt finds them and they run to the RV and Curt tells Dana the Buckners got Marty. After the tunnel suddenly caves in, Curt, Dana and Holden get out of the RV and look at the chasm and Curt decides to try and jump it in his dirt bike. As Curt is halfway across the gorge, he hits the invisible barrier and plummets to his death. Dana realizes Marty was right and she and Holden get back into the RV. Holden tells Dana they can drive until they have to abandon the RV and then walk, and is suddenly killed by Father Buckner.
