After killing his mother and sister and ritualistically arranging their bodies as a sacrifice to Satan, a Devil worshipper (Jeremy Sisto) recites the Lords Prayer backwards as it is written on the wall in a room filled with candles and Satanic imagery. He then commits suicide by throwing himself onto an athame in an attempt to ensure that he is eternally damned. What follows next is a near-death experience where the clinically dead killer flies through tunnels of light, eventually arriving at a gaping, tentacle-like being of light who, after flashing through scenes of the recent brutal murders, darkens and casts the killer's soul down into Hell.
Hatch Harrison (Jeff Goldblum) is driving home from his family's lake-side cabin with his wife Lindsay (Christine Lahti), and daughter Regina (Alicia Silverstone). They collide with a truck and, after Regina manages to escape, the car plummets down a ravine into a fast-flowing river. Lindsay believes she watched her husband die.
