Synopsis

In the late 1970s, many people looking for spiritual enlightenment away from "sickening Western world" find refuge in Puna, India. There they form numerous meditation groups, and one of the many was the notorious Taylor-Ericsson group. There is no way to learn about who this Taylor or Ericsson is, but the group prospers. On the pretext of looking for your true self, shocking and extreme experiments are conducted. The three gruesome episodes Shakti, Debi and Kali paint the feature film bloody red.
