A group of college students head into the woods to have a picnic and meet a professor who has made a discovery. The group finds the cabin destroyed and the professor nowhere to be found. When they hear cackling laughter coming from a cave, they venture inside and find an insane old man in the dark with a creepy ancient book that he passes to them, insisting they are now it's caretakers.
The group is plagued by strange claymation monsters, and Asmodeus, the forest ranger who changes into a drooling, sunken eyed creep trying to take possession of them.
The acting is weak, the students hair changes lengths throughout the film, and there are some laughable moments. But this started as a student project and for that, it's quite an accomplishment.
Frank Boers Jr. aka Frank Bonner went on to become Herb Tarlek on WKRP in Cincinnati. Also of note is the films influence on Sam Raimi's Evil Dead. Also one can not help but be reminded of the satire, Lost Skeleton of Cadavra, when the ranger steps out of the bushes.
