1996 - 93m.

Remember the two Coreys (you know Feldman and Haim)? Well, neither does most of the World even though they shelled out cash to see 1988's Licence To Drive. Now, granted they got into the drugs and their careers went down; but at least Feldman has made better choices (God, that's quite a scary sentence).

Corey Haim stars in this quite pathetic (and mostly tame) heavily cliched flick as one of a bunch of college kids who head off to the title spot and get caught up with demons and whatever sloppy mythology the script decides to throw-out.

Yeah, this one's got it all; upbeat college kids, inane dialogue ("that spider did like you, you know chemistry"), a wise Indian who has the same old visions, TV-movie quality acting (with Mario Lopez from Saved By The Bell - you can get excited now) and a general sense of boredom. It gets even worse in the pathetic finale.

And yes, it's even available in an edited-down version entitled Demon Kid.
