Among the returns is an unknown tape, a movie not even Kevin has heard of. Was this the last movie Nyla’s father watched before he died?
The mystery is too much to resist. But when Kevin and Nyla press play, they unwittingly activate a long-dormant curse and a series of classic cinematic villains are plucked from B-movie heaven and hell to be unleashed into the store itself.
