Synopsis
Doe eyed and in love, Anna attends the housewarming party of her new boyfriend Nico. The night quickly unravels as she meets his friends, some classic Hollywood pricks. Tales about ex girlfriends and Nico’s promiscuity swirl and her new lover also tells his guests about a “haunted” basement that he warns them not to enter. Anna starts drinking to suppress her discomfort, but instead becomes increasingly intoxicated and paranoid. After losing track of Nico, Anna escapes his friends and searches frantically for him in the maze-like house. She follows an odd banging sound down to the foreboding basement where the true horror is revealed.
