Plot edit
Black Candles is about a young woman named Carol, who is drawn into a Satanic sex cult in England following the abrupt death of her brother. Everything starts off seemingly innocent but soon Carol finds herself more immersed into a sinister, sadistic world of debauchery, violence as well as utter depravity that she may never be able to escape from as the cult members' grip begins take hold onto her mind, body and soul. Will the woman be able to break free of their baleful restraints or will she be a prisoner of the sexual rites of the devil forever?
