A mansion
owned by dead artist Ichiro Mamiya is haunted. Or is it? That's the question
on the minds of a TV news crew when they go to investigate. From the time
these guys arrive at the house it's non-stop action with a ton of white
knuckle scares. This is the ultimate 'house possession' flick. It's got
everything. Explosions. Melting faces. Monsters. Grisly deaths. And, at
the end, the collapsing floors expose a shaft to hell as the ghost mother
herself claws her way towards the stunned survivors.
