The premise

Due to their possession of an ancient mystic book, four friends are attacked by a demon while on a picnic and find themselves pitched into a world of evil that overlaps their own. The film was originally made in 1967 by Dennis Muren as The Equinox: Journey into the Supernatural. Jack Woods was hired to shoot additional footage and expand on Muren's work.

Horror Vault's take

When four young friends stumble upon a mysterious ancient tome during a weekend outing, they unwittingly unlock forces far beyond their comprehension. Demons, monsters, and a creeping supernatural dread converge as the boundary between their world and something far darker begins to dissolve. A passion project with roots in late-1960s amateur filmmaking, the film carries a raw, handcrafted charm that belies its genuinely unsettling ambitions. Fans of early cult horror will find its blend of creature effects and occult menace surprisingly compelling.
