On the run from an abusive ex she thinks wants to killer, Alice (Portia
Chellelynn) finds abode in the Hannah House, a house with a very dark and
violent past, a past that seems to even have some effect on present times
as people go missing in the vicinity of the house from time to time, never
to resurface again. Now that would be spooky to most but not Alice, as
she's a graduate student trying to prove the possibility of alternate
dimensions, and Hannah House might just be the key to her research. But
what sounds mighty lofty soon proves to be all too real, as in very
disturbing nightmares she learns about the evil goings-on in the house,
nightmares that feel too real to be just figments of her imagination and
contain facts from the house's past and maybe also present. Thing is, even
through her waking hours, Alice drifts off into nightmareland every time
and again, a nightmareland that seems to be controlled by none other than
her landlady (Shonda Laverty), and that Tommi (Julie Anne Prescott), her
one friend among the tenants of Hannah House, might be a part of ... A
film that most certainly does H.P. Lovecraft proud, as despite its graphic
scenes, it doesn't always spell things out but hints at them, making them
all the more ominous that way, and giving the viewer plenty of opportunity
to scare oneself. And a very competent cast makes the whole thing
relatable while atmospheric filmmaking keeps things creepy throughout,
making this some very cool genre entertainment.
