Plot
Psychologist Jon Porter learns that his mother has just mysteriously fallen to her death. Jon and his teenage daughter Michelle return to Jon's hometown of Glenrock for his mother's funeral. Once there, painful memories return. Thirty years earlier, when Jon was a child, he witnessed the brutal murder of his older sister Lisa, who was stabbed to death in a cave by a greaser named Tony Reno and his two friends Vinnie and Sean, who were attempting a demonic ritual which Jon stopped by throwing an electrical wire into a puddle of bloody water they were standing in, killing all three of them.
Michelle becomes friends with mentally handicapped gardener Steve, as well as two girls, boy-crazy Maria, and Maria's psychic best friend, Jules, who used to clean her grandmother's house. The night after the funeral, they invite Michelle to go to the diner with them, saying they would like to get to know her before she goes home for her 18th birthday. At the diner, the girls are greeted by a boy who looks a lot like Tony Reno, even with the same name. While Maria develops a crush on him, he seems to be attracted to Michelle. He gives Michelle an old pocket watch as an early birthday present, then leaves.
Meanwhile, Jon is pestered by Father Archer Roberts, a priest he came to when Lisa was murdered. He tells Jon his mother's death was not an accident.
It is revealed that Tony is the same thug that killed his sister and also killed his mother in order to bring himself back from the dead. Tony kills Steve with his lawnmower and uses his body parts to perform a ritual in order to bring Vinnie back. At the diner, Vinnie pretends to scare Tony away, making Maria fall in love with him. While they're making out in the forest, Vinnie turns into a Demon and kills Maria in order to use her body parts to bring Sean back. Jules, whose psychic abilities upset Tony, while searching for Maria is taken to a dam by Tony, Vinnie and Sean, who were disguised as the Sheriff and her deputies. Tony kills Jules by slashing her with her own tarot cards. Father Roberts is later killed by Tony while trying to do a ritual to banish Tony and his friends back to Hell and Michelle is kidnapped in order to be used in Tony's ritual.
In the end, Jon reenacts the events of the murder of Lisa but saves Michelle and is able to use Father Roberts' ritual to banish Tony and his friends back to Hell. Sometime later, Jon is having a session with one of his patients and suddenly has a hallucination with Tony but quickly returns to normal.
After the credits, Tony re-appears in Jon's office to announce that he's back.

The Banger Sisters is a 2002 American comedy film written and directed by Bob Dolman, and produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures. The film stars Goldie Hawn as Suzette and Susan Sarandon as Vinnie; two middle-aged women who were once best friends and groupies, revelling in 1960s/70s hedonism, before they lost touch and went their very separate ways. Suzette's decision to crash back into her former friend's current, and radically different, conventionally respectable life, is the basis for humour, with the clash of who they were and now are. The plot considers ageing and how people alter with time, whether incidentally - Suzette realising she's now older than the current musicians - or deliberately, to try to find a place in the world, as Vinnie has, but sometimes losing part of themselves along the way.
