Four American friends traveling through Europe on a post-graduation vacation come across an interesting map (placed in one of the girl’s briefly stolen bags) which leads them to an old castle with an interesting history somewhere within the Czech Republic. Happy to find a little adventure (and maybe some forgotten treasure) in a truly stunning location, the quartet wander around the property and then have a bonfire where they talk about past exploits and play a game of truth or dare. Flashbacks to the castle’s tragic past begin to affect one of the female members. After a night of nothing anywhere near thrilling passes, the four make their way into the castle and eventually pick the lock to gain access into the catacombs. Glowing blue lights let us know that these dopes have caused something paranormal to stir. It doesn’t take them long to figure out they can’t leave the place. Brad goes for help, Chloe takes her top off, T. K. acts like a dick, the blonde girl sees maggots in her sandwich, a force field is brought to life with special effects borrowed from a Sliders production and the group meets a crazy person wandering around the property who is there to explain the situation our unlikable group of personality voids have found themselves in. Visions of doom plague our heroes and we get to feel the eternity they feel by experiencing some of the most ass-numbing “action” to ever show up in anything that claims to be a thriller. It tried. It failed. But it tried.
