[edit] Plot

After the brutal, accidental death of his wife by electrocution, Cal Jamison (Martin Sheen) moves to New York City, where a rash of brutal, ritualistic child murders, supposedly committed by members of a Hispanic cult practicing a malevolent version of Brujeria have been confounding the NYPD. Things take a turn for the worse when the cult targets Jamison's son Chris (Harley Cross).

[edit] Cast

[edit] Controversy

The film was in large part an influence on the Santeria- based cult, established by serial killers Adolfo Constanzo and Sara Aldrete.
