The premise

Set in Middle America, a group of teens receive an online invitation for sex, though they soon encounter Christian fundamentalists with a much more sinister agenda.

Horror Vault's take

When a trio of teenagers follow an online lead promising a casual sexual encounter, they find themselves trapped in the grip of a violent fundamentalist cult in rural America. Kevin Smith trades his comedic roots for a raw, unflinching thriller that examines the darkest edges of religious zealotry. With a standout performance from Michael Parks, the film escalates from predatory manipulation into a full-blown siege that refuses to play by genre rules.
