A director is filming on location in a house where seven murders were committed. The caretaker warns them not to mess with things they do not understand (the murders were occult related), but the director wants to be as authentic as possible and has his cast re-enact rituals that took place in the house thus summoning a ghoul from the nearby cemetery to bump the whole film crew off one by one.

Viewing Notes

Starts with a great premise but doesn’t really deliver by the end despite some good creepy stuff in the first half. I like movies about movies and here they are filming a horror movie of the crazy events that took place in the house in which they are filming. Things fall apart when the actual book of the dead is used and summons the dead. Too bad because this had the makings to be pretty good.
