Jasper, a young filmmaker stuck as a production assistant, sees his chance to direct by proposing filming behind-the-scenes of a real séance in an old haunted house as research for their horror movie Death House. The site was once a children's shelter, shut down after five mysterious deaths in 1942. When the séance begins, the cast and crew are trapped inside and tormented by the spirits of the children--and something far worse.
