Edgar Allan Poe's riveting tale of horror grips the screen again as the mysterious Dr. JB Divay (Lorielle New) takes seven college students to a creepy former mental asylum to prove her theory that the pain threshold can be controlled with hypnotherapy. The fun and games turn serious as the students begin to die and others are compelled to engage in unusual sexual pairings. David DeCoteau directs this homoerotic take on the classic tale of terror.
