Members of a teenage street gang break into an abandoned movie theater, kill the owners, and dump their bodies in the basement. But by doing so they have unknowingly awakened an army of satanic beasts led by an ancient witch named Haggis, who have been waiting over 100 years to escape the theater and destroy all life on earth. The gang must fight to the last drop during a gore-soused night of slaughter to stop the demons from breaking loose, while they are torn to pieces and devoured!
Director/ producer/ co-writer Todd Sheets graduates with full honors from his SOV undergrad work in his previous Zombie Rampage and Moonchild with this 1993 opus, that is stuffed to the edges with action, clever camera and lighting work, and truckloads of the sloppy red stuff that would become his trademark in the low budget realm. He outdoes himself at every turn with the splatter set pieces and inventive kills, and gives nods to everything from Deadbeat at Dawn, Hellraiser and Demons, all set in the ultimate filming location – an actual vintage movie palace.
