Synopsis: After the death of his father, archaeology student Ben Rutherford inherits an 18th century mechanical device known as "Le Vaudo Mort".

After class he returns to his dorm room to find that the contraption has been stolen. One by one, Ben's friends begin to die in strange and horrific circumstances. Now he must reunite with his estranged half-brother, Marcus, a forensic photographer, and delve deeper into their father's past to work out who is behind the grisly murders.

Ryan.

My, how you grew.

Marcus.

Hey, Ben's there?

Benny.

Hello

I'd call, but

You do not call me

two years ago.

- I just arrived from the south.

Got a tip

for the next two months.

- So do not you stay?

That's good.

Do you think things should

be so among us?

No, but ...

I'm a little

Too busy to

the only family you got?

Good night, Ryan.

His brother ...

are not very close, is not it?

- Calm down.

- I'm fine.

I knew my brother had not returned

for the funeral of my father?

My father said:

"Marcus has always lived free."

Maybe he wants to resume.

He's your brother,

can not be too bad.

I told you what happened, right?

Yes, the car accident.

No, before that.

My father and Marcus

fought ugly at home.

My father was so angry,

they drove off.

Is.

It was the Iast time

I saw him.

I'm sorry, Ben.

You know, I think enough for today.

Come on.

Anda.

Wait.

Wait, wait.

Either water or something?

- Sorry about today, Mary.

- Okay.

- I had fun.

- Really?

Yes, indeed.

If you are not doing anything tomorrow

we could ...

Okay.

Ben?

I have proof to correct.

Incidentally, your are late,

Mr. Rutherford.

Please?

If I knew,

would not be asking.

- At least see the photos.

- Two minutes.

Come on.

"Le Mort Vaudou?

The Grand Guignol.

The Grand what?

This is a theater of horror,

in Paris.

Okay, Nelson.

This accounts for

my final grade?

The Grand Guignol used

shock tactics, violence ...

and fake blood ...

to scare the audience

with presentations of horror.
