Synopsis

College professor Frank Heller ( Joe Zaso) and his girlfriend Sandra ( Felissa Rose) lead a ragtag group of museum patrons in a race for their lives. After a botched robbery attempt spills blood on the ancient mask of Nikos a lu Unziceanu ( Schnaas), the barbarian returns to kill off virtually anyone who crosses his path.
