While cleaning out his grandfather's house, film student Sam Graham discovers Demonology, a 1928 silent movie, thought to be lost to nitrate deterioration. Sam doesn't realize the film is cursed. Its restoration leads to the return of its female star, Blanche Cole, who can summon fire. Blanche wants her career back and will burn anyone standing in her way. She also wants Sam. If he can't stop her, he'll be forced to join her in the twilight world she inhabits.

You'll never look at silent films the same way again.
