Storyline

Richard Crenna fra First Blood har hovedrollen i denne grøsseren fra 1978. Et gammelt "kråkeslott" har stått tomt i mange år, og ingen i distriktet så mye som tør å nærme seg det. Uvitende om husets rykte leier Crenna og hans kone huset for sommeren. Sammen med noen venner begynner de å sette huset i stand igjen, men de får bittert erfare hvilke krefter som hersker der. Når fellen slår igjen og huset nådeløst fanger sine inntrengere, er det som om alle er utlevert til de onde kreftene som hersker i natten. Written by Ørnås

Quotes

[C.J. comes face-to-face with the Devil sitting on a throne in a white-colored limbo plane of existence]
Devil: [chuckles] Forgive me, but you are an endless source of amusement to me.
C.J. Arnold: What is it that you want?
Devil: There... you see what I mean? After all I put you through and you still don't know.
C.J. Arnold: You did all that?
Devil: No, Mr. Arnold. YOU did. You denied the warnings, you opened the door, and still you couldn't accept what you've done. You pondered the deeper meaning of a universal power for good. Self made.
C.J. Arnold: What is it that you want from me?
