==Plot== Gwen, Matthew, Katrina, and Spencer are best friends for years, until a terrible tragedy tears them apart, and leaves all of them in a state of arrested development. Years later, they are reunited for a destination wedding to stay together in a rented house. What they do not know is that in the late 60s, the house was home to a Manson Family-like cult, run by Frazer, a charismatic former scientist pushing the boundaries of human consciousness. His experiments echo through time and manifest everyone's darkest fears and memories before them as time blurs and Frazer's cult and the present day collide. Over the course of one night, everyone must confront their darkness or be destroyed by it.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://houseofdemonsmovie.com/synopsis/|website=House of Demons Official Movie Website|title=SYNOPSIS – House of Demons Official Movie Website}}</ref>
