Two students break into their school at night but a grim reaper of some sort captures them and then turns them into one of his people.
The next day a bunch of students at the school plan an event as they always do during the weekends by entertaining themselves with a game by playing an elaborate role-playing game in which they impersonate witches, warlocks, and other magical beings.
This time they decide to break into their highschool to do it so it will be more challenging. The head teen named Lex (Kristopher Turner) finds a book of magic spells at the school library so he uses it for the game.
Another teen named Megan (Ellen Wieser) is being tormented in her nightmares that the grim reaper figure is chasing after her in the school with a volleyball bouncing towatrds her in the school gymnasium scrawkled in blood that she is going to die that night.
Then when the game begins some of the students really die and some turn into demonic beings while Lex uses the magic book of spells.
Megan is one of the only survivors and this time a volleyball bounces towards her letting her know that she isn't dreaming. She finds out that one of her friends named Roger (Landon McCormick) is trying to surive this madness too but neither of them can seem to escape this horror.

 

This would be considered almost a Hellraiser ripoff but a fun one.
I didn't understand the story in the very beginning of it but I still enjoyed it and understood it more after watching it.
I liked how it ended showing the game master had control over the evil happenings.
I also enjoyed the demonic voice effects.

Some of the acting like Kristiopher Turner's performance is great as he knew his role inside out especially when he was instructing the game when it starts inside the school at night.
However, some of the acting like Landon McCormick's role as Roger is very rough. He wasn't terrible but wouldn't be what you call a character actor.

There was some blood and a fake boiled head but all of this looks extremely phony.

David DeCoteau is somewhat ok with this one but however his direction lacks when there is a scene when a guy has his arm slit and his actions aren't at all believeable and it looked like he wasn't there to help out with the direction.

Walle Larsson is great with his viloin sounding synthesizer for the film as his music playing truly suits the story.
