A priest (Tom Lodewyck) is stealing the wife (Debbie Rochon) of an innocent man. A couple (Chris Burchette, Rachel Grubb) see themselves forced to torture and kill again and again, even if they don't want to and have nightmares about it. Their daughter (Shannon Lark) loses a pendant on the beach ... and her whole existance could depend on it. A girl (Kaylee Williams) finds the pendant, and learns from a psychic (Linnea Quigley) that finding it might mean she's now an instrumental part of a dark prophecy ...

Point is, according to this prophecy, Hell will unleashed on earth should certain events align, and a group of demons (Lodewyck, Rochon, Tony Todd, Camden Toy, Debrta Lamb, Brinke Stevens, Angus Scrimm, Nick Principe) really don't want that, seeing earth as their own playground and humans as their playthings. So they form an alliance to prevent things from happening - but the problem is, they don't really have a masterplan, and especially the priest is more powerhungry than what's good for him and his demon friends ...

Ok, I have to admit Disciples is a bit on the convoluted side, and I'm not exactly sure whether I got all the plot right ... but while watching it this hardly matters, as it's a really good and twisted movie that, despite being a bit confusing, is perfectly structured and paced, features shocks and suspense in all the right spots, and sports a cast of colourful characters and even some self-conscious camp. And the acting is really top notch in this one - true, one might expect no less from such a star-studded cast, but it's worth a mention still.

Totally worth a look!
