In Adam Nevill's award-winning horror novel, 'Last Days,' guerrilla documentary filmmaker Kyle Freeman finds his career-making opportunity when he's commissioned to investigate the infamous Temple of the Last Days cult. This cult gained notoriety for a gruesome 1975 massacre, including the death of its charismatic leader, Sister Katherine, leaving a legacy of paranoia, murder, and occult rituals. Kyle's brief is to unravel the paranormal myths surrounding the organization, leading him on a chilling journey to their former strongholds: a London temple, a desolate French farm, and the Arizona desert copper mine where the cult met its bloody end. As Kyle interviews reclusive survivors who have remained silent for decades, the film shoots are plagued by increasingly disturbing phenomena. Terrifying out-of-body experiences, menacing nocturnal visitations, the sudden deaths of interviewees, and the discovery of ghastly artifacts force Kyle to confront a horrifying question: what ancient evil did the cult truly awaken, and why is it now so relentlessly focused on him?
