Storyline
Arthur and his two children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus's estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied by Bobby's Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the devil and powered by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by Dennis, a ghost hunter, and his rival Kalina, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

User Review

A fun movie…

Rating:

The movie was fun. It wasn't a horrible flick my any means. The acting
didn't make me want to leave, which is a definite plus for a horror movie.
I
thought the computer graphics were impressive. The ghosts were definitely
freaky, and yes, I jumped a few times. I rarely jump in horror films, but
this one I did…more than once.There were times where it was predictable
however. This didn't take away from the entertainment factor though. I
mean,
this film isn't going to win any Academy Awards for best picture or
anything, but it was a fun film. If you're looking for something to do
this
Halloween, take your friends out to see it.
