Plot
On spring break from college, Cub, Arietta, Melody, Genesis, and Beauty drive to Pop's old cabin in the woods. Upon arrival to the cabin, Beauty smells a foul odor which causes her to take out her bottle of air freshener and sprays it making everyone cough. The odor leads them to the cellar where they discover a tape recorder, a parcel, and Sniffles' rotting corpse which causes Arietta to vomit. Cub unwraps the parcel revealing a book with an agonized face on it titled Necronomicon which causes Cub to scream in horror and run out of the cellar. Arietta goes out to comfort him and asks him what's wrong. Cub tells Arietta the events of Read 'Em and Weep and tells her that Pop had the book wrapped up and placed in the cellar for that reason.

Genesis, Melody, and Beauty open the book and play the tape. Sniffles' voice is then heard talking about the book being his latest discovery and starts saying the incatations of the book. Cub hears the three playing the tape. He then stops the tape and yells at them for opening the book. The cabin then starts rumbling as demons are released from the book. Beauty then hears the voices of the demons and goes outside to see what's happening. Alone in the forest, Beauty is grabbed and brutally beaten by demonically possessed trees but escapes. Beauty comes back to the cabin bleeding and tells them what happened although Genesis, Melody, and Arietta don't believe her. She then levitates and tells the four that tonight, their souls will belong to the demons and she attacks Genesis. Horrified about what's happening to his sister, Genesis grabs a nearby bat and knocks her unconcious.

The four teens then throw and lock her in the cellar. Worried about how he's going to explain Beauty's state to thieir parents, Genesis takes his things and leaves the cabin. Checking on Arietta and Melody, Cub discovers the two have been possessed. Melody promptly attacks Cub but Arietta doesn't make an attempt to attack him. Genesis comes back now severely injured and the two boys unlock the cellar and throw Arietta and Melody in there and promptly lock it again before the girls can escape. Genesis tells Cub that whatever they unleashed from the book is not letting them leave. He then apologizes for reading the book and dies of his injuries. The three girls then start to sing a taunting song and Cub leaves the cabin and screams as a demon possesses him.

However, the demon gets into his right hand and he chops it off with a chainsaw. Cub's hand then attacks him and grows into an exact copy of himself after which he kills and throws into a ditch along with the girls and Genesis who is now possessed. Finally driven insane by his friends' possessions, Cub starts laughing crazily and hallucinates inanimate objects in the room laughing at him. Cub then hears voices and discovers that Evil Cub has come back to life and is leading an army comprised of his friends. Cub then enters the cellar and arms himself with a shotgun and modifies the chainsaw and puts it in place where his right hand was. He then exits the cabin and decapitates both Genesis and  Beauty and shoots Arietta and Melody. Cub then starts to read from the Necronomicon and it sucks Genesis, Beauty, Arietta, Melody, and Evil Cub into a vortex. However, Evil Cub grabs Cub by the foot and drags him into the vortex. Cub then wakes up screaming and realizes everything was just a dream and breathes a sigh of relief until he discovers that the chainsaw is still on his right arm and sees the deadite versions of his friends and Evil Cub who kill him as the screen fades to black.
