Holy Hell (Frame Narrative)

A white-dressed woman inhales vapor from a white, goopy substance on her hands. Later, the same woman, with her eyes gouged out, counts down from ten in a static-y voice as another woman passes behind her. A SWAT team — consisting of Slater, Oursler, Sprayberry, Spivey, Petro and Nash — raid a warehouse during a drug bust, with cameraman Gary in tow. They find a private jet behind the warehouse. A distorted female voice emanates from the speakers: "All are welcome. All are watching. Finally, followers, tonight is the night you've been waiting for. Track my signal. The signal is the stimulant. The signal is the sedative. The signal is salvation." As the officers charge through the tight corridors, they discover multiple prison cell-like rooms with television sets displaying static. They spot a man sitting in one of the rooms, but as the officers order him to not move, they realize he is dead, with his eyes gouged out and the white goopy substance -- the drug the SWAT team is after -- dripping onto the floor.

Advancing through the warehouse in search of suspects, the team enters the room seen in the VHS tape and encounter more dead cultists. Slater orders to search the upper floor with Blue team while the remaining officers keep going as one of the televisions begins to play a newscast. The news cast is the beginning of "Storm Drain". The officers go deeper into the building and come across a room set up to look like a church, but with a giant screen at the front and severed mannequins in the seats. Churches are usally used for funerals,so that gives us a hint on what the next vhs is. The vhs is called "The Empty Wake". The officers discover body parts strewn across the floor, mannequins in the toilet stalls, and upside-down crosses hanging from the ceiling of various rooms. Panicked, they plan to exit the building. As an unknown voice states, "Forever is right now", a television begins to play footage from "The Subject". t is shown that Nash and Petro have kidnapped Spivey. As the rest of the team frantically search for him, Nash states "Forever starts right now". In front of a wall of TV screens, Slater pages his missing teammates over his radio, and Petro states that he should try not to lose his head. Slater collapses and enters a trance in front of a screen, and the fourth short ("Terror") begins. The majority of the SWAT team are now dead with their eyes gouged out. Slater is tied to a chair by Petro and Nash, who accuse him of being a traitor to the militia in the previous video. The women explain that they create and distribute videotapes depicting animal cruelty, cannibalism and other shocking acts of violence. Slater will be their final kill for this video. Petro beats Slater to death with a video camera. She and Nash believe this will be their best tape yet and wonder what to call it.
