From Chris: Basically one director's student film he made at Ohio State University. Most of the cast are students earning college credit for the movie and it was filmed all over Ohio.
The only reason someone became interested in releasing it after all these years is scream queen Linnea Quigley, the only recognizable person anyone will know in the cast. It's actually not a bad VHS-era horror flick, about a satanic cult being exposed in a small town by the journalist who has just started a local newspaper there. Hammy acting but the screenplay is fairly decent.
While the movie was shot on 16mm film, Visual Vengeance goes the lazy (the economics of doing a transfer may not fit their business model) way of releasing it as an upscaled SD presentation. So the video quality is nigh atrocious. I guess it's being claimed the movie got edited on videotape and nothing else remains. Apparently a very rough 40-minute workprint has circulated on the internet for years.
