Storyline
| Plot Summary |
The female rock band formed by Kate, Elena, and Rita wants to release a new album, but their producer Lavinia refuses since their songs are very poor. Their friend Daniel buys a piece of music from a stranger called Mr. Pickett who claims that the music was written by Paganini himself but was never released. Lavinia believes that the music will become a hit and she hires filmmaker Mark Singer to make a videoclip in a manor she has hired from her acquaintance Sylvia Hackett. Soon Rita and Daniel disappear and the floor collapses beneath Kate and vanishes into the hole. The survivors try to flee from the estate but discover that they are trapped in hell.

| Quotes |
Kate:
Paganini wrote this song 200 years ago, for some secret use, some secret sect that held mysterious ceremonies at night. Don't you know about it? Lavinia: No. Kate: They say he sold his soul to the devil in exchange for wealth and fame. See more » |
