Storyline

The 8th Plague is the story of a woman named Launa who is investigating the disappearance of her sister, Nikki. Nikki had gone camping in the mountain town of Halcyon Springs and never came back. Becoming more and more frustrated, Launa realizes that she must find her sister on her own with the help of Mason, a mysterious local man with a shadowed past. Their search leads them to an abandoned prison called Halcyon Ridge Correctional Facility. Very soon after arriving within the stone and steel walls they are exposed to an ancient evil that had been lying dormant until its recent disturbance. Subsequently they learn the terrible truth about what happened to Nikki as well as the impending plague of darkness that intends to spread and reclaim the world.

User Reviews

fantastic gore-fest

This movie does have a slow start, and I'd heard bad things about that. However I was pleasantly surprised when it picked up and the blood started to fly. This movie had fantastic gore and a decent plot. The atmosphere was also very eerie, and the music was cool. The ending was very different from most low budget horror flicks which was refreshing. I was very impressed at the overall attention to production value on such a tight budget. Overall, I must say that the 8th Plague was not too shabby for a DV flick. The girls were hot too which didn't hurt. This movie is not for the squeamish. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a 9th plague. Hopefully they'll start the gore and creepiness sooner on that one if they make it!
