Plot Summary

A young woman inherits an ancient, sinister house from a distant relative. Upon moving in, she discovers that the house is possessed by a malevolent entity that feeds on fear and isolation.

She must confront the house's dark history and the entity's power before it consumes her completely.

It is generally regarded as a serviceable, though unexceptional, entry into the supernatural horror genre of the early 1990s. Audience reception was similarly modest, with viewers finding it to be a standard haunted house tale with some effective atmospheric moments but lacking originality.
