[STORY]
In the Berlin underground, along the run of the subway, a boy that wears an unusual and horrible metallic mask distributes to the passengers free tickets for a movie preview in a cinema called Metropol. It is obvious that the film will be a horror film. Many people receive the tickets and arrive at the movie theater prepared for the viewing of the film. In this film a history hinged on an ancient mask from the ill-omened powers is told, similar to another model of the same exposed in the atrium of the theater. A magic aura emanated from this mask seems to be the cause of similarities between the event seen on screen and the real events that occur in the theater. In fact, a girl, in attempts to be playful, tries to wear the mask on display in the atrium and after being cut by its sharp edge, begins to feel sick and rushes to the bathroom. Her skin begins to swell, covering it self in pus and sores. By the end the young woman has become a horrendous bloodthirsty monster. But this metamorphosis is contagious: whoever is wounded by this demon, they shortly change into another diabolic being. And in little time, the cinema becomes a place of horror.

The demons invade the theater, whose exit doors have been jammed, so that nobody can leave. The few still alive have stayed immune from the horrendous contagion, so they try to get organized to start an effective resistance. In meantime, the contagion also stretches to the outside when a blind man becomes able to escape after being wounded by a demon. He then infects two Policemen outside the theater. In the chaos that scatters throughout the city, only the young people Cheryl and George who remain trapped in the cinema, seem able to dominate the situation. George uses a long sword found in the atrium. Somehow, after much struggle, the couple succeeds to avoid the monsters and to run away to the roof of the place, broken down by helicopter that has fallen from above. But, once on the outside, the two young people discover that now Berlin swarms of dreadful demons. A jeep picks up the fugitives and set out toward the outskirts in attempts to escape.

But quickly Cheryl changes; she has been secretly infected, and she tries to kill the occupants of the jeep. They however kill her and her body falls to the asphalt while the jeep takes off along the empty road to meet future of great uncertainty....
