One evening, Mary and Phyllis, two young women raised in the puritan tradition of deep America, decide to have a night out in town on the occasion of the birthday of one of them. At the corner of a bad street, they meet a young man who offers to buy weed. For them, it is the beginning of a complete nightmare. They will be kidnapped, tortured then killed by a gang of torturers led by David Hess who, after their misdeeds, will find refuge in the house of Phyllis' parents.
A former literature professor, Wes Craven was inspired by Bergman's The Source for this film shot in 1972, which has since become a grueling cinema classic. ESC Éditions will release a limited Cult' 3 Blu-Ray box set packed with extras on February 21.
