In an ancient convent on a strange island, a nun holding a peculiar amulet falls to her death. The amulet shatters. The pieces are buried. Years later, a girl from London travels to the island looking for answers to questions she doesn't understand. Marcus, Melissa and Grady study a little-known cult horror flick with deep roots in H.P. Lovecraft and Italian cinema. Also, would Ray from "Everybody Loves Raymond" survive a monster movie?
