Skeptic and physics student Sonja Fitzgerald (Vida Zukauskas) finds a mysterious VHS tape in her basement one day; upon playing it she discovers it's a black-and-white film of a strange man performing a ritual. After doing some research, she discovers it is allegedly a film from the year 1594, made by the time-travelling sorcerer Var (Shawn Van Every) who harvested film equipment from the future and imprinted his spirit onto a roll of celluloid, and watching the film will release him. After dismissing this as nonsense, the seemingly invincible Var appears before Sonja and begins relentlessly attacking her. 持怀疑态度和物理专业的学生Sonja Fitzgerald（Vida Zukauskas）有一天在她的地下室里发现了一条神秘的VHS录像带。播放时，她发现这是一部黑白电影，拍摄的是一个陌生人进行的仪式。经过研究后，她发现这是一部据称是1594年的电影，由时光飞逝的巫师Var（Shawn Van Every）拍摄，他从未来收获了电影设备，并将他的灵魂烙印在一卷赛璐oid上，并观看了电影将释放他。在将其视作废话之后，看似无敌的Var出现在Sonja面前，并开始无情地攻击她。
