The Irrefutable Truth about Demons

Anthropologist Harry receives a video tape showing a rant by the leader of the Black Lodge cult, including a specific threat addressed to Harry. He shrugs it off, even after another warning received from a weird woman who he runs into outside of his place of work.

Soon after, he is kidnapped by a group of weird looking cult members, that refer to him as 'slave' and chain him to the floor in a room. Lucky for Harry, the floorboards are not too solid and he can break free and run off, thus saving himself for whatever was in store for him. He stumbles into a restaurant, where his girlfriend Celia is waiting and before passing out he sees Le Valliant, the cult leader, sitting at a table nearby.

Later, as his girlfriend's place, as he is taking a bath he has a vision of her throat being cut and the body thrown on top of him, while his head is held under water. When he comes to and stumbles out of the bath, he discovers Celia suspended in a crucifixion like setting just as the police start hammering at the door.

He flees, dressed only in a towel, to a rundown motel. From there he calls his colleague Johnny for help, but the unfortunate young man does not live long after leaving Harry. After he discovers Johnny's body in an alley, covered in cockroaches,he again sees Le Valliant. To the rescue comes the weird woman, who introduces herself as Bennie. Together they get away on a bus.

But there seems to be no escaping the cult. Apparently, they had something to do with Richard's death. He even sees Celia, alive, and realizes she is a member, as well. The members always seem to find him and, finally, he is overwhelmed by the group and Le Valliant digs out his heart with his bare hands.

Through some ritual, however, Benny keeps him alive and together they go and face the cult again. And prevail after actual demons come to take out Le Valliant, whose powers may have been transferred to Harry.

Next we see them in an insane asylum, where Harry coughs up a bug and Celia returns to tell him that she killed Richard. Later, in the yard Harry reunites with Benny and they find a dead bug that comes back to life in Harry's palm. In the last scene, Celia gets in her car outside the asylum, where Richard (as a zombie? a demon?) is waiting for her in the backseat with a knife.

Weird, weird, weird.
