Plot Overview

In deep Louisiana bayou country, Ray Saunders (Rick Cramer), a tow truck driver, tries to rescue an elderly voodoo priestess trapped in a car crash. During the rescue effort, a suitcase full of magical urns breaks open, releasing thirteen evil, cursed snakes that attack and kill Ray.

Possessed by the malevolent souls trapped within the serpents, Ray dies and reanimates as a zombie-like killer dubbed “Mr. Jangles.” Driven by supernatural rage, the undead killer targets a group of local teenagers, including Eden Sinclair (Agnes Bruckner), her boyfriend Eric (Jonathan Jackson), and their friends Cece (Meagan Good) and Rachel (Laura Ramsey).

As Mr. Jangles stalks the teens across the swampy backcountry using brutal execution tools, the group takes refuge in a remote voodoo estate. They must uncover the secrets of the curse and find a way to destroy the unstoppable undead force before he slaughters them one by one.
