Warning: Spoilers
PLOT SPOILERS!!! Another lousy movie "based on" an H.P. Lovecraft story. In the 1800s a woman gives birth to a monster baby. She dies in childbirth and the father abandons the house but casts a spell keeping the baby a captive within its walls. Cut to the 1950s. The house is abandoned and a bunch of idiots go in there for no good reason. Naturally the monster is around and they start getting killed. It's a good thing Randolph Carter (Mark Kinsey Stephenson) is around to figure out how to kill it. END Spoilers!

Just horrible movie. It's very cheaply made and the "haunted" house looks like it was made out of paper mache--note how the walls shake when anyone bangs on a door! The script is stupid and boring and the acting is just dreadful. Only Mark Parra as Joel shows any acting ability. The rest of the the cast is beyond dreadful--especially Stephenson and Laura Albert. There's also a pointless sex scene to give us the obligatory female nudity. Even the gore is boring!

Cheap, badly made, terribly acted. Avoid.
