After the death of their friend, a couple decide to investigate the rumors of a series of demonic possession rituals being conducted by a strange cult that are at the center of what supposedly killed him and must race across the country to stop the cult's plans from coming to fruition.
This was a massively fun and enjoyable genre effort. One of the more enjoyable factors with this comes from the wild and rather fun setup that brings about plenty of genuinely cheesy fun. The idea of the friends deciding to go about on their trip to look into the true nature of their friends' death that no one wants to solve and finding the rumors about the cause being done by a demonic cult looking to summon the creatures to fix the people in their condition as a means of solving perceived mental issues offers a great time here. The central premise of the cult's presence and what they're attempting to offer makes for a great time here with the whole purpose offering a fantastic commentary on the nature of individuality and expression that comes about due to the incredibly sympathetic portrayal that comes about as everything gets connected rather nicely. What helps bring this along is the series of frantic encounters with everyone as they undertake the trip to look into the cult the more they uncover about he death. Realizing the cult is responsible for bringing about demons with the hope of riding people of their supposed mental disease, the confrontations here taking place in public locations or secluded hotel rooms offers the kind of likable setups that are full of impressive practical effects for this kind of budget as the make-up work to denote the kind of physical transformations taking place. The comedic interludes with the drag performances are a great way to add some levity to the proceedings while also continuing to tackle the sense of family that runs wild in this one, making its low-budget limitations the lone real flaw to this one.
