Plot: Director Dante Tomaselli merges two disturbing storylines into a visually arresting chiller. At the onset, a group of teens escapes from a drug rehab centre, heading toward a supposed promise of salvation at the house of a psychopathic reverend Salo, Jr. (Vincent Lamberti). Leader of the pack, Luck (Danny Lopes), fuelled by major hallucinogens, transports the gang to the reverend's isolated house where a simultaneous second plot is evolving…Once there, a bizarre and disturbing series of events unfold as the teens discover that the reverend and his wife have enslaved their daughter, through enforced drug addiction and psychic brainwashing. In this nightmarish universe, nothing is what it seems. The only salvation appears to be the guidance of her paternal grandfather Reverend Salo, Sr. (The Amazing Kreskin). But hope is quickly jeopardized when it is revealed that Salo, Sr.'s comforting visitations are from beyond the grave. Shortly after the arrival of the rehab escapees, Luck shoots and kills Salo, Jr. and his wife. This eruption of bloody violence is a catalyst for the unleashing of dark forces including torture, a chamber of horrors, and murderous attacks by a demonic satanic goat and an army of zombies. This is a nightmarish universe where nothing is what it seems. The

 Horror has plenty of scary moments, but it's so confusing it's hard to be genuinely frightened. ... The end result is just kind of weird and spooky, but not even a herd of ominous goats can scare the confusion out of you.  --Christopher Null (FilmCritic.com)
It has amazing imagery, frightening set-pieces, one of the greatest sound designs I've ever heard and delivers more than a few jolts - particularly when you take them within the entire context of the piece. Feelings of dread, sadism and even a little bitof wonder permeate throughout the whole film.--Scott W. Davis (HorrorExpress.com)

Shot on Super 16-mm, I was reminded of the colors of an Argento movie with the graininess of the horror films from the 70s and early 80s – and his fluid camera work really brought the viewer into the film, whether he or she wanted to be there or not.  --Elaine Lamkin (Bloody-Disgusting.com)
