The premise

In the prehistory of man, 12,000 years ago, two members of a superhuman tribe abuse the treasured secret of eternal youth. They use the methods of ritual cannibalism on the children of their own tribe and when discovered by the 'Queen' of the tribe, they are cursed to an eternity of old age with no chance to ever die. Now, in present day Los Angeles, their only hope to recapture eternal youth is the ritualistic sacrifice of a 16-year-old female virgin. Their existence is discovered by an investigative reporter and a young runaway child and this leads to an unexplained and terrifying confrontation

Horror Vault's take

Stretching back 12,000 years, a dark curse binds two immortal cannibals to a decaying half-life — their only escape a gruesome ritual that targets the most vulnerable. Transplanted to modern Los Angeles, their predatory hunt collides with a young runaway and a curious reporter who stumble too close to secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. Equal parts ancient-evil mythology and low-budget splatter, the film leans hard into its transgressive premise and earns its notorious reputation among exploitation enthusiasts.
