After a psychotic blonde guy decapitates his wife and axes a young couple, the man's actor brother Barry (Aaron Hendry) moves into the same haunted house with his artist wife Susan (Michelle Beauchamp). Snakes, chickens (!) and murderous blue-faced ghouls show up, people are killed, the closet turns into a portal to another dimension and the couple unsuccessfully tries to perform an exorcism before guests arrive to their house-warming party.
This movie proves once again that there are just as many bad directors to emerge from (hence sweatshirt) New York University's film-making program as there are good ones. Although there's one decent musical number and some fun low-grade CG FX (like a guy emerging from a garden sprinkler), the relentless bad acting, stupid characters and irritating dialogue make this a chore to sit through. Female cast members continually go topless in a desperate attempt to give us something to watch.
The director (who filmed this in Mexico where it was probably cheaper to produce) also wrote, co-produced, edited, did digital FX, fight choreography and acts! (None of which, too well)
