Synopsis

A young man, Bruyn LeFevre, receives a letter informing him that he has inherited a castle in the Catskill Mountains of Upstate New York. Bruyn meets his girlfriend Jezebel in a local bar and shares the news with her. A punk rock band plays the song "What You Gunna Eat?" in the background. He and his girlfriend Jezebel Buxton leave Brooklyn with another couple, Rod Ramington and Anatolia Grossentitten, to claim the ancestral inheritance.They two couples arrive at the castle and are greeted by a freaky hooded caretaker named Rollo. He shows the couples to their separate rooms. When he is with Bruyn and Jezebel in their room, he begins to tell the group of the cannibalistic history of Bruyn's LeFevre Family.Rollo's flashback story begins in 1664 outside of Kingston, NY. The French Huguenot settlers leave the Dutch city of Wiltwyck (present day Kingston, NY) to establish their own settlement in New Paltz, NY. They nearly starve to death that first winter and to survive they decide to eat the Esopus Indians who had tried to feed them. The cannibal legacy of the LeFevre Family begins. The Huguenots begin inbreeding and living in the woods because they have developed a liking for human flesh.The tale continues as Rollo tells that British troops, who have taken the region from the Dutch, capture a band of the New Paltz cannibals and burn them at the stake the during the reign of Charles II in 1674.Later, in 1789, the new American country tries to rid itself of the cannibal scourge. A band of inbred colonial cannibals is dispatched by guillotine.Rollo's saga of inbred cannibal feasting then jumps to the Civil War in 1863. The incestuous cannibal offspring attack and devour a bagpiper playing "John Brown's Body." A troop of union soldiers stumbles across the cannibal band and shoots them down like dogs with their musket volleys. His mad tale ends in peals of demented laughter.Rollo leaves the room and the stunned couple begin to unpack and relax on the bed. Suddenly cannibal women climb out from under the bed and cannibal men enter through the door and devour the newly arrived couple from NYC. It is a scene of bloody orgy.The other couple, Anatolia and Rod, are unaware of this development. Anatolia senses something horrible and begins searching the castle for Rod. She runs through the castle calling for Rod who can't be found. She runs outside looking for him there and rings a bell in warning. She runs to a small red wooden shed and opens the door. She sees Rod's eaten corpse inside and is grabbed by a laughing, machete- wielding cannibal and killed.Three days later a nymph is eating a picnic in a field waiting for her lover to meet her. She goes swimming in a river and is surprised by the cannibal band. They chase her back to her picnic blanket and devour her. Meanwhile across town a young girl runs to fetch a priest. The demon has returned to re-possess her mother. The priest, Father Peter, performs a violent exorcism. To refresh himself afterwards he goes for a walk in the deep woods. Fr. Peter stumbles across the cannibal altar and a statue of their hideous god, Moloch. He realizes that a cannibal cult is in the area and he phones a priest friend to meet him with dynamite and guns to destroy the statue, the altar, and the inbred cannibal cult.Meanwhile, Dixon Orchard is the home base of the cannibal cult. They ride motorcycles and chase down an unsuspecting duo of Clyde and Deke who are passing through the orchard. Deke and Clyde are trapped on a bridge by the cannibals. Deke has a gun, but is overwhelmed and eaten. Clyde jumps to his death from the bridge rather than be eaten by the cannibals.The cannibals organize a large feast in celebration. They roast several victims and are singing songs, dancing, drinking, and eating human flesh. They begin chanting "Moloch" and worshiping their idol when the three priests arrive, Fr. Peter, Fr. Kevin, and Fr. Patrick, and begin shooting the cannibals with pistols. As most of the cannibals are shot down, one cannibal starts a chainsaw and attacks the priests. He too is gunned down. The wounded cannibals are all shot again. Then Fr. Patrick places a large charge of dynamite in the idol and they detonate it. The idol explodes and breaks into pieces on the ground. The demonic spirit of the idol emerges from it and dances in the night sky.Afterward, a couple walks into a nearby Deli and realizes that the workers are slicing human limbs on the meat slicers. The cannibal deli workers then attack the unsuspecting couple and chase them from the store.The End?
