There are plenty of movies that deal with Satan or even with just the simple topic of evil. Most times that evil is personified by people, usually children (most famously accomplished in The Omen series). The film I am going to talk about now sort of has the same premise...sort of. Now, before I begin giving you a blow by blow on the plot, and believe me I will try to leave nothing out, I promise you...no I swear to you, that what I am about to write is exactly what happens in this film, so please settle in and here we go.

We open on a peaceful lake somewhere deep in the mountains...and we stay on this one wide shot of the lake for like twenty minutes until a small hand giving a thumbs-up rises out of the water. The thumbs-up is attached to a small boy, maybe twelve years old, who rises out of the water as if he were being propelled by dolphins and reaches the shore dry as a bone. He looks around and starts walking through the woods. Cut to someone sleeping on a cot. The little boy appears in the room and gives the man an extra thumb on his right hand. That's right, folks, you read that right, an extra thumb! Cut to a janitor taking care of school that is closed for the summer, or something. There is a knock on the front door and he goes to let in a man who claims to be a health inspector, but in actuality he is a crazed psycho who blows the janitor away and dumps the body in the Olympic-sized pool. Cut back to the thumbs-up kid, who is standing by the side of a dirt road as a school bus pulls up, he gets inside, and rides it to a catholic church. Once there, he gets out with the other boys, who are rowdier than he, and joins them in the locker room, where they will dress for choir. One of the fat kids tells a joke, and everyone laughs, except for thumbs-up kid, and he gets picked on by the fat kid for not laughing. But there is no time to fight, they must rush out and start singing because mass has begun. Goodbye thumbs-up kid that rose out of the lake for now.

We cut back to the psycho in the empty school. He takes out a yearbook and starts cutting up six pictures of his former classmates who apparently harassed him back in the day, but all we get to see is where these teen are now. They are all in the mid-thirties with varying degrees of success and failure, but they have all received invitations to a high school reunion, and decide to drop everything and return to the place where they actually meant something (I apologize for editorializing the last part, there was never that much characterization in the film). Anyway, the 6 people arrive, and I am hard-pressed to remember all of them, because they were all forgettable and unremarkable, so I'll just call them "the six". They find the place decorated to the nines, but empty. It seems they are the only people there, except for the crazed psycho who has set up super-elaborate traps with costumes and props to get revenge on these six people...for some reason. Stupid story short, the uninteresting and unlikable six are killed off and we cut back to the mass that was happening at the beginning with thumbs-up kid. The preacher is proselytizing wildly about sin and redemption or some shit, and then mass ends. Thumbs-up kid meets the priest outside before boarding the bus, and we notice that the priest has 2 thumbs. The boy says something to him and gets back on the bus, and as he leaves, they find the fat kid that threatened him dead somewhere (if I remember correctly). The bus drops thumbs-up kid off on the dirt road again, and then he walks back into the stupid lake and disappears, and now his hand has 2 thumbs. THE END.

WTF! That's what I kept saying all the way through this movie. Why did that kid come out of the lake? Who is he? Why does he have choir practice? Who's paying for the bus that picks him up? Is he Satan? Who is the psycho? Why is he killing these six people? Why is this movie so dumb? Is the priest the psycho? Why does he need 2 thumbs? What does that even mean? Were they trying to mix a slasher film with a devil movie? WTF!? Enough said, I guess. This was a slow, terrible, piece of crap. Avoid at all costs
