A bloodthirsty killer named Matthew Hackett (Gregory Wood) gets hung by a cult of people in the sleepy town of Perrysburg and 15 years later a group of teens involved with a dare club break into an abandoned mansion that is reportedly to be haunted and have the spend the night there.
One by one the teens end up being murdered by sharp glass, suffocations, death accidents and posessions but they can't seem to escape after they are all trapped in.
It seems that someone is watching them and planning death curses on all of them. Could it be the ghost of the Matthew Hackett?
Meanwhile, a lady named Sarah Fairchild (Dee Wallace-Stone) tries to find all sorts of information on Hackett and why he was sacrificed.

This film was extremely rushed and didn't make sense at all.
Trying to borrow chemistry from other haunted house film this one fell flat and I found it hard to watch plus it was incredibly boring too.
The story sounds better than watching the movie itself I can assure you.

The acting is terrible by the young cast especially supporting actress Andrea Langi who is not believeable at all when she encounters her boyfriend dead as she can't act herself out of a wet paper bag.
Dee Wallace Stone does a great job in it with her tough as nails role but even she can't save the performances in this film as it seems that they try to grab viewers attention by having former celebrities by having supporting roles in the film in order to watch it.
Lead actress Paige Moss tries to pull through with her performance and does well with her crying scenes after the horrible incident at the mansion.

Andrea Langi is in bed fornicating and shows a breast shot then takes a shower breasts fully exposed.

There's a decapitated head

Ken Barbet is very below average with his work in this film it's as if he took directing lessons from David DeCoteau.
He tries to make the film look spooky but he tried too hard as there's nothing spooky about it.
However the scene of the posession by Bridgette Brooks looked somewhat amusing.
The scenes like the funeral with Wallace with Moss close to the ending seemed somewhat well directed too.

The music by Tim Jones at first didn't seem too great as there was some piano playing and metal sound scraping but he does breeze through it with some interesting classical music for the film as it was a shame the film didn't look believeably scary in order for his music to work as he was too good for this film.

We have a songtrack during the closing credits by a group called Bonehead with their number "Fear"
