Lionel and Campbell meet with the American College youths and Andrea Tomeras in Athens and from there head off to a long forgotten forest village tourist trap Manos where they come to a local bar called Zeus' Bolt.
They meet a less then welcoming young female bartender Maria (Cobie Smulders) and a bunch of strange locals who learn of the location they desire to go.
They find a lift there with one particular local who drives them halfway there and leaves them to hike with there gear till they reach the rock cliff.
He prays for them as they depart and also attempts to suade them into not going claiming like the other locals it's cursed.
The large group of individuals then scale the rock cliff with their climbing gear and reach the top where they prepare to set up camp.
They pitch tents and the very first night atop the cliff lose all their climbing gear and tools which offer a way back down via a nasty windstorm.
Strange noises then occur all through the night and after the group is done arguing they discover the noises to be emanating from inside the rocky mountain top.
It eventually rips open and Johnson, Sarah, Campbell and Alex fall down inside a chasm.
Inside the chasm they discover ancient engraved wall images depicting the Greek Gods and humans standing before them undergoing horrible transformations.
Horrible whispers and noises are then heard and Sarah in a panic screams out for them to quickly come down and get them.
A strong gust of wind then travels through the chasm chamber and Johnson finds himself compelled to further explore the chamber.
Campbell and Alex follow on after him whilest Sarah remains in the same spot still calling out for them hurry up and get them out, whilest reporting the others have gone further into the chamber.

Sarah begins to panic and scream out again as the wall begins to crackle and open up.
As it opens snakes pour out in piles and come at her.
She backs away in a hurry from the wall but a couple of snakes fall from an up above wall onto her shoulder and one snake bites the back of her neck.
She screams out and Alex and Campbell hear her screaming and leave the tranced walking forward Johnson to go to Sarah's rescue.
Up above Lionel, Constance, Andrea and Thomas rush around assemblimng a long rope for one to go down and reclaim them.
Andrea decides she will be the one as her sister has fallen down there.
