A teenage girl attempting
to gather the materials for a book her father had been writing at the time
of his death becomes trapped in an abandoned mine and forced to do battle
with the malevolent entity on which the tome was based in director Frank
van Geloven's demonic slasher flick. Kristel (Victoria Koblenko) was arguing
with her father during a late night drive when tragedy struck. Now saddled
with the knowledge that her late father was one the verge of finishing
a book about an early-19th Century child killer who had made a deal with
the devil in exchange for the ability to move in and out of hell, Kristel
and a group of friends travel to the mine shaft where her father had been
doing research in order to retrieve his personal belongings. After arriving
at the site and gathering her father's materials, Kristel and company are
persuaded to venture 200 feet underground in order to take a guided tour
of the mine. During the tour, it's revealed that during the time that the
mine was in operation condemned convicts were offered the opportunity to
avoid the hangman's noose by testing the shaft for deadly methane gas;
if the criminal survived the excursion they were subsequently granted complete
immunity for their crimes. The maniac behind those horrific child murderers
had taken such a gamble after being given that option, and by all accounts
perished in the subsequent explosion. When the tour is over and the elevator
to the surface fails, the group playfully attempts to kill some time by
communicating with the dead via the ouija board that belonged to Kristel's
father. Unfortunately for all involved, the spiritualistic apparatus opens
a portal through which the demonic spirit of the child killer passes, immediately
possessing one of the teens and driving her on a murderous rampage. Now,
as the rest of the trapped tourists attempt to make the way through the
underground maze and to the perceived safety of the surface, a supernatural
killer leaps from body to body in a bloody attempt to locate a mysterious
treasure while collecting as many severed heads as possible.
