[edit] Plot
Victoria (Shannyn Sossamon) receives an invitation from her sister Carolyn (Alecia Moore) to come see her in Paris, France saying "This trip will change you forever". Victoria arrives in Paris and is picked up by Carolyn and taken to her apartment. Victoria is disturbed by the apartment at first and is very uncomfortable, especially when Carolyn's friend scares her with a mask. After settling in, the two sisters go for a tour of Paris and a little shopping. During a break Carolyn tells Victoria about a secret rave that takes place in the Paris Catacombs and wants her to come that night.
The sisters arrive at an entrance to the catacombs where there is a long line of people; however, Carolyn is friends with the bouncer and they are allowed in without waiting. Carolyn is given two flashlights and a map to the rave and they arrive to hear the introduction by the host Jean-Michel (Mihai Stanescu). During the rave, Victoria begins to feel dizzy and needs water for her medication. After not receiving service at the bar, Jean-Michel takes her to his private room, where Carolyn already is.
Victoria, Carolyn, Jean-Michel and his group laugh while drinking. Jean-Michel then tells Victoria the myth of a killer living in the catacombs. Raised by a Satanic Cult, the demon feeds on people who get lost in the Catacombs and has lived there for many years. Most of the guys laugh at the story as being a joke and decide to go skinny dipping. However Victoria does not want to join them and decides to find her way back to the rave.
In the catacombs, Victoria gets lost until Carolyn finds her and scorns her for running off. The sisters then attempt to find their way back to the rave, when out in the darkness someone grabs Carolyn and drags her off. Victoria panics and finds Carolyn on the floor dead. Then a man in a goat mask begins to chase Victoria. She runs in terror and finds shelter in a storage room. However, the man starts a generator and it appears that the storage room is its home. Victoria finds a way out and heads to where she can hear the rave, crawling through a wall made of bones.
At the rave she finds Carolyn's friends but then the Police arrive and interrupt the party. Victoria is dragged off in a crowd of running mobs and bumps her head against a short doorway. She later wakes up to find the herself in the catacombs abandoned and alone.
