Max (Sebastien Grech) the best friend of transgender drag performer Aria (Cassie Hamilton) and boyfriend of her other best friend, Jay (Zarif) has been killed by a demonic cult, and when Cassie's attacked by a demon (Brendan Cooney), wbo she can easily ward off and kill though due to her sixth sense for demonic presence, she and Jay decide they have to investigate and possibly avenge Max's murder. Thing is, on their way they meet demon after demon to kill ... and also Nell (Lisa Fanto), whom they have apparently been in school with (without any recollection of her), but who's pretty handy when it comes to killing demons herself, and who pretty much forces them to let her tag along - not that Aira needs too much convincing as she has quickly fallen for Nell. Jay on the other hand doesn't trust Nell, which is only partly due to his jealousy, but also partly has to to with the fact that she's the daughter of Dr. Fenway (Chris Asimos), who has given Aria a bad injection not long back. And of course, Nell isn't really all she seems, and of course Dr. Fenway will feature prominently in the story before long ...

Sure, the story of this movie is a bit silly, and it's also a bit inconsistent in its mythology - but it's also so much fun to watch. For one that's because the film doesn't take itself too seriously and instead carries its drag show campiness (including several musical numbers) on its sleeve, where even the violence becomes kind of a joke. But it's also carried by well fleshed out characters that are given some really clever lines - and heck, Cassie Hamilton's bubbly and self-centered performance alone is already hilarious, and she's supported by a great ensemble cast - to turn this one into a really fun horror comedy for sure.
