Features Lance Henriksen as the Lucas McCarthy and Brion James as Max Jenke. One of the few movies featuring these actors as main characters. IMDB

Review:
Many recognizable faces in this movie.
A lot of over acting and a very, very bad plot.

I know cellars/basements are scary and so are fernaces, but this movie, is horrible.

Some parts are "decent," (decent as expected) but then it just.. becomes over produced and over acted.

Not something I would recommend. :/ The worst of the "House" movies.
And for some reason, it really follows Nightmare on Elm Street with a lot of aspects.
Lots of flashbacks and horrible dialogue.

Try to avoid this. :/ But it is easy to make fun of.

Oh yeah - and the "kid" that plays the younger brother, was born in 1969..... the movie was made in 1989... so he is 20 years old!!!!!! :/
