Jonathan (Adam Holley), a journalist fallen from grace, has just moved
town in search for a story, only to in his new home finding a dead body
behind his bathroom mirror, a body the local Sheriff (Jan DeAngelo) tells
him is most probably Isaac (Joshua Sedelmeyer), a locally known voyeur who
has gone missing a year or so ago - seems this is where he's been hiding.
However, Jonathan can't let the Sheriff and local handiman Clint (Tim
O'Hearn) remove the body without the permission of his landlord Rogers
(J.W. Kiefer) as it would lead to serious damage to the bathroom. Of
course, that's only the official reason, as actually Jonathan smells a
good story here. A better story than he could ever have expected though,
as when he lets one of his sources, Debra (Jessica Nogaret), take a shower
at his after a rather disgusting accident with a dead raccoon, Isaac's
dead body is re-animated, steps out from behind the mirror and physically
attacks her, and then Jonathan as well before he can chase the body off.
Once the Sheriff returns, he's rather miffed that Jonathan has lost
Isaac's body, but doesn't believe much of the rest of the story.
Meanwhile, Debra is slightly shocked about what Jonathan has dragged her
into, and she forbids him to ever call her again before she storms off to
visit her friend Lynette (Janna Holley) to calm her down. But Lynette
tells her stories about Isaac when he was still alive, demonic possession
and a local cult, which makes Debra believe Jonathan after all, and she
goes to fetch him to talk to Lynette. But meanwhile, dead Isaac visits
Lynette and murders her, and Jonathan and Brenda only find her dead body
... that has disappeared by the time the Sheriff arrives. As the Sheriff
has enough of Jonathan the troublemaker, so he takes him in. But while
waiting at Deputy Tom's (Michael Yammine) place to be taken to the police
station, Jonathan catches a glimpse of a video that seems to prove Rogers,
handiman Clint, Deputy Tom and Isaac were all members of some cult that
dabbled in the demonic side of things a bit too much, with catastrophic
results. But try as he might, he can't convince the Sheriff of this, and
what's worse, the Sheriff seems to head right into a trap laid out by the
demonic cult ... Ok, the plot of this film might be a bit
convoluted, with a bit much going on, even considering there aren't all
that many characters - but at the same time, the film is expertly paced
and flows really well, with all the suspense, action and violence
well-placed and hardly a dull moment in-between. And of course, that's
only augmented by a genre-savvy directorial effort and some really cool
mechanical creature effects, and carried by a well fleshed out cast of
characters embodied by a very able ensemble cast, and all of this adds up
to very cool genre entertainment.
