Upon
the death of their mother, a family turns from their God and the Holy
Doctrines. This opens the door for a Black Magic assault and Satanic
evil. Initially, teenage son Tommy is visited at night by a corpse-like
woman with bulging white eyes lacking irises (see above pic, center).
After that encounter, Tommy believes he is possessed. The young man
visits a warlock for help, who tells Tommy that he can protect the family
through black magic. This only makes things worse. The daughter, Rina,
is urged to try a shaman to fight against all the dark spirits. But
that ends in death and destruction. Eventually, after the family is
attacked by Satan's Zombie Trinity, they begin to realize all their
trouble is the result of not being Muslim enough.
