In the 17th century, an order of monks in Italy capture and entomb a demon that has possessed a member of their group. 400 years later, school teacher Elizabeth Magrino (Laura Schaefer) visits the monastery in order to do some research. What she and the current monks do not realize is that the evil hiding within the catacombs has unwittingly been released.

It was eventually given the new title Curse IV: The Ultimate Sacrifice by Columbia TriStar Home Video and released direct-to-video in 1993.
