Miles Kody (Travis Schuldt, Scrubs), is a documentary filmmaker. Living off a long ago success he’s now searching for his “second” break. He finds that in the seedy world of snuff films. He interviews Vic (John Savage, The Deer Hunter), a seasoned pro with a menacing, mysterious dark side. Miles becomes obsessed with the subject matter and his subject. Miles’ primary investor, Carl (Bronson Pinchot, Beverly Hill Cop) is also very interested, more in the hypnotic allure of the movies and potential for profit. As Miles tapes his interviews with Vic he becomes aware of the appearance of “ghosts” captured on his video monitor. He realizes that the faint energy fields of these ghosts, past victims of the snuff films, are picked up more readily on video. As the ghosts become more powerful they become more visible to the naked eye. To his horror, Miles soon realizes that Vic is in league with the Devil, and that the mysterious “King of Snuff Films” is delivering the souls of his victims to attain more power.
