Synopsis by Jason Buchanan

A debauched band of exorcists face off against a powerful demon intent on destroying humanity in this 3D horror/comedy from director J.T. Petty (The Burrowers). Demons dragging you down? The Hellbound Saints of Brooklyn Parish are the folks you call on when the church-sanctioned exorcist fails to deliver you from evil. Their leader, Angus (Clancy Brown) is a sinner of the highest order, and he expects nothing less of his followers. According to Angus, the more sins committed, the better equipped his crew will be to face evil on its own horrible terms. And his loyal apprentice Stephen (Andre Royo) keeps a detailed log of every transgression in order to ensure everyone is prepared for the infernal fight ahead. When the Hellbound Saints encounter a diabolical force that threatens to herald the apocalypse and learn that a meddling church bureaucrat is intent on shutting them down, they vow to violate God's law with such vigor that they will be able to escort their wicked adversary straight to the gates of hell.
