“You’re already dead, but don’t panic…it could be worse!”

On his seventeenth birthday, Michael is given a present of a Ouija board by his best friend, Tony. At a session, using a medium known only to him as ‘Virgil’, Tony unwittingly unlocks the evil forces of the board. Soon there is a wave of violent killings and the chief suspect appears to be Michael, who has been witness to all the killings via premonitions and/or out of body experiences. Is Michael the killer? Can he prove his innocence, or is someone else being possessed by the evil spirit…?

From the director of GRAVE ROBBERS comes this bizarro Saved by the Bell/NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET-possession mashup, a blur of horror tropes and cheap Americana (Coke cans and Marlboro packs are all over this thing). Not to mention the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, mullet-sporting Americanized lead actor. For fans of: adults playing high-school teens, full body dinosaur pajamas, soapy-teenage melodrama, and good ‘ol-fashioned goopy gore.
