Death Ranch

The Ridgewall Ranch is reputed to be haunted by a confederate colonel but upscale pimp Carlson Loggins moves his brothel into the country mansion anyway. When one of his hookers claims to have seen the ghost in an upstairs hallway, three of his girls are found mutilated on the same floor and more murders follow. Finding themselves pitted against an exceptionally devious and highly skilled killer, neither Sheriff Gary Stoner nor the Texas Ranger sent to assist him can fathom the perpetrator's uncanny ability to keep the victims silent while gutting them alive before removing their heads, leaving no clues behind. Metaphysical investigator Dunmark Finley convinces Gary a demon is operating through one of the remaining harlots. He permits Finley to sedate them to keep the devil from manifesting and accompanies him to Colorado so Finley's assistants can help locate the host and exorcise the massacring spirit. But another brutal murder on the Ridgewall Ranch horrifically proves the demon's lair isn't one of the prostitutes. Knowing he's now looking for a needle in a haystack, Gary drives back to Texas hoping the demon fighters can somehow find the right woman before everyone in Tomahawk County gets slaughtered.
