Plot:
After an injury puts Scarlett Healy (Jennifer Cozza James) in a wheelchair, she moves in with her daughter, Autumn (Anna Sherman), who just moved into a creepy old house with her boyfriend, Frank Thrussel (Mike Valley). There’s one condition to the arrangement. Scarlett cannot interfere with Autumn’s relationship and find something wrong with Autumn’s new boyfriend, as she has a habit of doing.
Scarlett quickly finds horror in her new living arrangement as she starts seeing a ghostly figure and receives a warning from a strange neighbour, Quinton Jonesboro (Quinton Aaron) to get out of the house. Is the house haunted or are her medications causing hallucinations? Should Scarlett heed his warnings or is her neighbour just crazy?
Reviews:
“Awkwardly worked into this dull drama are very brief nightmare/fantasy scenes involving an Egyptian mummy, presumably to give them something interesting to put on the poster, and to see if anyone was still awake. Top-billed Lou Ferrigno still seems to give a damn about acting, pity he is barely in the movie. Tara Reid briefly shows up as a character who looks sh*tfaced…” Gav Crimson
