Here's a synopsis for The Thirsting from BYOB Multimedia Productions' website: "Mary, Clareese, Michelle, Jackie, and Tiffany are in their senior year at a small Catholic college. They are all on the girls' volleyball team and all in the same senior seminar. In their class, they are given what turns out to be literally a 'killer assignment' about Adam's first wife - Lilith. When they accidentally summon the spirit of the Mother of All Demons, all hell breaks loose for these girls! Attacking them in their dreams, in order to devour their souls, Lilith turns their secret desires and memories into deadly nightmares as she decides which of these 'Daughters of Eve' should host her demonic spirit."

Below is a synopsis for The Thirsting from this MySpace page for the movie.

The Thirsting is a derivation of the Lilith mythos taken from biblical texts. It centers around the story of a nun, Sister Katherine (Tina Krause), who fled to the Church seeking comfort from memories of ritualistic abuse as a child in an effort to get her to voluntarily host the spirit of Lilith - Adam's first wife and the mother of all demons.

While supervising a senior college retreat, her students - Mary, Clareese, Michelle, Jackie, and Tiffany - are given an assignment to research various pagan beliefs and compare them to Catholic figures. Despite the efforts of three Arch-Angels - Senoi (Mickey Rooney), Sansenoi, and Sammangelof - to warn the girls not toy with the occult, they do.

When the girls accidently summon Lilith, all hell breaks loose. Lilith attacks them in their dreams, in order to consume their souls, turning their secret desires and memories into deadly nightmares as she twists the girls' dreamworld into deadly reality.
