孤兒之家

The film opens with a group of young adults checking out a remote house late one night. When Rick (Martyn McNicholas) enters the house much to his friend Susan's (Rie Jul) dismay, her trepidation proves to be justified seconds later when he

re-emerges with his eyes gouged out.

Then we meet troubled teenager Amanda (Evelina Nilsson). She hates her stepfather Bruce and suffers from recurring nightmares. Furthermore, she misses her real Dad and fears that her imminent move to a new house with her mother Karen (Lolio B Eriksson) and Bruce (Michel Abou Rjeili) will widen the distance she feels from him. Still, at least her stepfather's similarly-aged daughter Denise (Johanna Annersand) offers an ally.

The following morning, the family move to their new home. Promise not to gasp, but their remote new dwelling is the same one we witnessed harbouring deadly powers in the film's opening.

After a scare from creepy neighbour Jackson (Roger Bylund), Amanda's family unpack and begin to settle into their new home. While checking out their large, empty premises, the family learn that the house was once an orphanage. Bruce tells them that it closed in the late part of the 19th Century, but claims to have no idea who has inhabited it since then.

But then the girls stumble across the house's basement, and a diary revealing that it was used as a prison where kids in the orphanage were once punished.

A little more stealthy exploration of the building's darker crannies and a bit of spooky synth score later, and the atmosphere begins to intensify as odd things start to happen: doors slam open and shut; Amanda suffers from fainting spells; Denise spies a boyish figure with glowing eyes lurking in the basement.

As the tension mounts and gore runs, can the family pacify the building's ghosts? Can Jackson help unravel the mystery of what atrocities happened within its walls?
