What it’s about. Baltimore, 1988. Norman Forrester kann seine Nervosität kaum verbergen, als er eines Abends zur Geburtstagsparty des zukünftigen Schwiegervaters eingeladen wird. Die Feier findet in einem alten, fast verlassenen Hotel statt, das schon bald für weitere Nervosität sorgt. Norman begegnet einer Reihe höchst seltsamer Personen, seine Freundin verhält sich überraschend feindselig und schließlich taucht ein panischer Kellner auf.

Eine satanische Sekte möchte mit einem Menschenopfer einen Dämon wiedererwecken…und so das Ende der Welt herbeiführen!
