Synopsis

In 1931, a body is burned on a cross. On a farm, a woman named Regina attempts to barricade a door, from where beyond, demons try to enter. Her husband George transforms into a demon instead and kills her.

Sixty years later, after the suicide of his father, a young man named Cory, the grandson of Regina and George, and his girlfriend Elaine, along with a group of their friends, travel up to the farm, so that Cory can figure out what happened to his grandparents. They are attacked by a band of vicious demons. When the kids try to escape, a mysterious fog brings them back to the farm, protected by a shield that prevents the demons from entering the house. One by one, the kids become possessed by the demons, but manage to fight them off with a pair of daggers they find, which is the only thing that will kill them. But when the demons' master arrives, the kids realize they will need something stronger to fend off the hellish threat.[2][3]

gollark: You can do `os.pullEvent` with *no* filter then check if it matches, like this:
gollark: I think it might just print the errör instead of returning it, but I don't know.
gollark: Possibly. Try it. Or don't try it. Or maybe try it.
gollark: `shell.run` pcalls internally anyway.
