The plot follows five college friends—Ash, Linda, Cheryl, Scott, and Shelly—who travel to a remote, dilapidated cabin for a weekend getaway. While exploring the cellar, they discover the Naturon Demonto (Book of the Dead) and a tape recording of ancient incantations. Unknowingly, they play the tape, releasing a legion of flesh-possessing Kandarian demons that turn the friends against one another in a gruesome battle for survival.
While the original was shot on 16mm film for a gritty look, recent restorations have brought the film into the modern era.
