Another Haunted House horror movie and this is one of the better efforts. Richard Crenna ( CJ ) and his wife Joanna Pettet ( Caroline ) visit an old house and buy it, planning to base a drug rehabilitation centre there. With a group of young friends they plan to do the place up.

As with all these type of film you wouldn't visit this house if you were paid, but these are sensible people so everything will be ok. Wrong, right from the start Caroline sees a spectral figure and when her husband opens an underground entrance all hell starts to happen. One by one they start getting bumped off. There's something in the house and we find out it's the Devil, if only CJ hadn't opened the entrance nothing would've happened, too late now. It's up to Caroline to save the day and kill the Devil. At the end the house lets them leave.

Decent horror film with good performance from a great cast.
