[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Frank and Roger and their wives take off for Colorado in a recreational vehicle, looking forward to some skiing and dirt biking. While camping en route, they witness a Satanic ritual sacrifice, but the local sheriff finds no evidence to support this and sends them to continue on their vacation. On the way, however, they find themselves repeatedly attacked by cult members, and they take measures to defend themselves. Just when they think they have gotten away, a tree is lit, people start chanting and the Satanists surround the vehicle and light a ring of fire around it while chanting.
