**SPOILERS** Checking out a story a year old involving David Fielding newspaper reporter Slone is shocked to find that David has completely lost his mind and is spending most of his time in a padded cell. Not saying a word David clutches on to this crucifix as if it meant dear life to him.
It's when Slone shows David a photo of his missing collage professor Dr. Waterman that he goes berserk and in the struggle with Slone and a number of hospital orderlies he loses his crucifix. This has the normally passive David get so disruptive that he has to be strapped into a straight-jacket.
At David's attending doctors, the renowned Swedish physician Dr. Johanson, office Slone hears a tape that Dr. Johanson made a year ago when David was admitted to the hospital. Overlooked at first as the ratings and ravings of a madman the tape soon reveals the truth about what exactly happened to David and his collage friends Jim Susan & Vicki and why David cracked up because of it.
In an hour long flashback were given an insight to the strange happenings in and around Dr. Waterman's cabin in the woods and how it effected David and his friends. It turned out that Dr. Waterman found this "Book" on one of his travels in the Persian Gulf that , by him deciphering it, opened the door to a world of monsters devils and demons. These demons in the end not only drove Dr. Waterman mad but also took his life.
The "Book" was later found by David and his friends hidden in a cave by this local crazy man who was more then happy for the befuddled collage students to take it off his hands. That happiness was later turned to grief when the crazy old guy paid with his life for wantonly losing it.
Were also introduced in the movie to this Ranger Rick-like Forest Ranger who calls himself Mr. Asmoteus. Mr. Asmoteus who's really in control of everything that's going on in the movie want's that "Book" and will do anything, even opening up the very gates of hell, to get it. Mr. Asmoteus also has this weird habit of twisting his mouth and lips around, like a sexual pervert, that has drops of saliva dripping off them as he if he was suffering from the aftereffects of a fatal king cobra bite.
**SPOILER ALERT*** Constantly attacked by monsters that Mr. Asmoteus conjured up the collage students end up all dead with the exception of David who escapes and is then run over by a driver-less car as we saw at the start of the film. It's then back to the present that the curse put on David by the evil forces from Dr. Waterman's "Book" come into play. Those forces are about to be put into motion by no-other then David's demonic-possessed and zombie-like girlfriend Susan!
