Ex-soldier Frank Brayker is the guardian of an ancient key that can unlock tremendous evil; the sinister Collector is a demon who wants the key so he can initiate the apocalypse. On the run from wicked mercenaries for almost 90 years, Brayker finally stops in at a boarding house in New Mexico where — with the help of its residents — he plans to face off against the Collector and his band of ghouls, preventing them from ever seizing the key.

This is a wild, propulsive ride through a darkly comedic nightmare. Expect a relentless barrage of practical effects, gruesome creature designs, and over-the-top action, all wrapped in a distinctly 90s horror aesthetic. It's a campy, gory blast of good-vs-evil mayhem that never takes itself too seriously.
