Eileen (Jade Elysan) knows it's not her day when she runs over a priest in a freak car accident that even knocks her out for a couple of minutes. When she comes to though, the priest is horribly mutilated and his eyes are torn out - things that couldn't have been caused by the accident. Later, when she's out camping with her friends, her best friend and roommate Danielle (Carson Dougherty) claims one of the group (Wyatt Kuether) tried to drug and rape her ... and suddenly the girls find themselves on the run from a psychopath, and while Danielle manages to get away it seems, Eileen gets knocked out ... and wakes up in Rian's (Alan Del Tufo) apartment. Rian, who is of yet a stranger to her, claims the psychopath was actually possessed by a demon, and the demons are after her especially because she's supposed to be impregnated by the devil - but he, Rian, is an angel and will try to protect her. Eileen thinks he's totally bonkers of course and makes a hasty escape ... only to be attacked in her own apartment by Danielle (who has by now been possessed) and her minions. Rian saves her life, and now she does believe him ... but as Rian had to kill an attacker doing so, the two of them are soon arrested.

Detectives Sorenson (John B. McCann) and Vasher (Megan Lavner) try to make heads and tails of the situation, but don't even begin to comprehend any of this, when they run across Danielle in Rian's apartment, who promptly kills Sorenson, and Vasher is only saved by Rian's landlady (Betsy Sanders) who apparently knows more about all of this than she has ever let be known - but then a demon possesses Vasher ...

Eileen is sprung from prison, but to her horror she has to come to the realization her lawyer (Josh Potter) has beenb possessed as well, and he makes her his prisoner. But she is not down for the count yet, as Rian manages to break out of jail, and a little girl (Destiny Monet Cruz) who proves to be the spirit of her deceased daughter do their best to save her - but can they even hope to overcome the devil's ever-growing army?

Eternal Damn Nation is a quite fascinating little horror movie, as it creates a world all of its own out of surprisingly little outside of the ordinary, and while the story and backstory of this movie are very complex, little time is wasted with hammering storypoints home, while the plot is still logically structured and stringently told. Add to that a dynamic directorial effort, plenty of well-staged fight scenes and some spirited performances, and you've got yourself a nice piece of genre cinema.
