Film Synopsis

Five college students venture into the Tennessee woods to spend a weekend in an isolated cabin. Instead, they find grief in the form of the Book of the Dead (a separate Babylonian text in the film, unrelated to the Egyptian text) otherwise known as the Morturom Demonto (or Necronomicon in the sequels). They find and play a tape recording of demonic incantations from the book, unwittingly resurrecting the slumbering demons that thirst for revenge. The characters are then possessed one by one by the evil force in sequences of intense, bloody violence and horrifying voice overs.
