Logline

PORNO

It's 1992. Teenagers Abe, Todd, Chastity, Ricky, and Jeff work at a movie theater in a small Christian town. By chance, they discover an old film that reveals the cinema's prior use as an adult movie theater. Screening the film after hours unleashes a demon that gives them a lesson in sex education — written in blood.
