... "Before Someone Gets Hurt Gouging Their Own Eyes Out After Watching This Dreck".
The premise of this movie is utterly ridiculous. You see, this mysterious supernatural group that calls itself "Novum" is trying to "buy" Lucifer's way back into Heaven by sacrificing 50,049 souls. The victims of this sacrifice need to be the first born children of people of the cloth. Apparently, it would greatly please God to see the children of his most ardent believers slaughtered. God would be so pleased by this, that he would welcome Lucifer back into Heaven with open arms because Lucifer was once a really nice guy. Yep. Unh hunh. Fer sure.
This group Novum, according to the premise of this movie, has been around since Jesus was crucified, and so the preferred method of ritual sacrifice to buy Lucifer's way back into Heaven is crucifixion. Apparently, God loved seeing Jesus pinned to the tree, as it were. He loved it so much, in fact, that it would please him to see 50,049 innocent people killed in the same horrific way.
Of course, we have the usual horror archetypes among the characters, and what horror movie would be complete without our romantic leads wanting to drop their drawers and get busy, while they are trapped in a house, and their friends are dying all around them. Nothing sets the mood for making babies quite like ritualistic murder, according to the plot of this piece of garbage.
But wait! There's extra bonus tired old horror trope! After this supernatural quota of 50,049 souls is met, our romantic leads are let out of the house. Shortly thereafter, we find out that our female lead is pregnant, even though she is supposed to be infertile, and she and her boyfriend never quite got around to bumping uglies. Shortly after she finds out that she's pregnant, our heroine received a text message. The message comes in the form of a photograph... a photograph of one of her dead friends grinning demonically at her. So, not only does Lucifer get back into Heaven because God is thrilled with the crucifixions of 50,049 innocent people, we are also treated to the apparent Not-So-Immaculate Conception, where the Anti-Christ will be birthed into the world. God seems to really be asleep at the proverbial wheel up there in Heaven, according to our intrepid film makers. Either that, or He's even more vile and Looney Tunes than Satan is. In any event, unless you really like your sensibilities throttled and your suspension of belief pummeled mercilessly, you may want to pass on this utter piece of celluloid feces. I wish that I had.
