You and your friends visit an old theater on the seedy side of town. You pay for a double feature and take your seats. The lights go down and your palms get sweaty. A juvenile delinquent is sent to an isolated Catholic boarding school for troubled and runaway teens. Abigail’s parents are hoping the experience will straighten their daughter out, but the nuns at St. Apollonia have something else in mind. They’re about to introduce Abigail to the obscure saint they’ve come to worship in a ceremony neither of her parents would approve of. You get up to use the bathroom and get some more popcorn, then barely make it back in time when the second feature begins … An NYU anthropology professor has just received troubling footage from a colleague on an unsanctioned assignment in South America. Doctor Ridgeway’s crew has been murdered by a local tribe and his whereabouts are unknown. With the help of a wealthy student’s father, professor Buchanan travels to the southernmost city of Ushuaia to search for his long time friend as well as the legendary Guaranez tribe. But there’s a catch: said student’s father works for the Museum of Natural History and has hired a team of mercenaries to bring members of the tribe back to Manhattan… You and your friends have barely kept your theater snacks down. Possessed nuns. Third World Cannibals. Religious cults. Machete and chainsaw-wielding mayhem. All just the initial offerings of The Atrocity Vendor …
