Douglas Elmore is an alcoholic writer and caretaker haunted by visions of his dead wife and pursued by supernatural forces bent on revenge for his past deeds. When tenants start turning up dead in the hallways and stairwells of his brownstone apartment building, Douglas suspects a strange but sexually alluring homeless prostitute named Karna who sleeps in his basement by day and prowls the empty city by night. But as the bodies pile up, Douglas is torn between his growing obsession with Karna and the threat of becoming a prime suspect in a murder investigation. Douglas must find the origin of the evil residing in the old Hagstone building before the secrets of his past return to destroy him.

Dorathen Better Late Then Never
Bereamic Awesome Movie
Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
deletewindowson Sure sounds like it. This is one rotten movie. I give it a 10. I like bad movies, you see. This has everything: bad writing, bad direction, bad production, bad acting.. bad everything. Even the Hagstone is a disgusting looking old building with smelly slimy creepiness oozing out all over. Bad bad bad. But is it Doris Wishman bad? Is it Hershel Gordon Lewis bad? No way. Is it Plan 9 bad? Yeah, sort of. It is bad in an innocent, endearingly bad sort of way. The sort of bad you can scoff at with a good conscience because you support the idea of low budget truly independent film making and rather hope the makers keep making without ever getting good enough to sell out and become mainstream "good". Because that would be truly bad and truly unwatchable. Ya know what I mean?
ibinixer I have to say that this is a surprisingly worthwhile no budget horror film if you can get by the bad acting, editing and some serious lows in the dialogue. Otherwise it's stylish, has a pretty good plot, a few twists and turns (that would have been carried off better with some better acting, editing and dialogue) some moments of tight scripting and some great reactions from the weird the Dude/Napolean Dynamite hero of the films.If you're looking for the screw twist of Lake Mungo or the outright ridiculousness of a Troma film look elsewhere, and if you're a snob you probably won't even sit through a half hour but if you liked Evil Dead or Doom you should be able to get a kick out of this. As a silly horror film for a horror fan to watch inebriated for a bit of a thrill I would say that you couldn't go too far wrong with this.
Greywolf907 This 'film'is possibly one of the most banal ever produced...which is why I have to ask if it is meant to be a joke, if it is...it isn't even a very good one. There is nothing at all scary....frightening....weird.. malevolent...unexpected about it from the first frame to the last.The main actor is pretty poor, but waaaaaay waaaaay ahead of his supporting cast who's acting abilities are akin to a bunch of 12 year olds...to be fair, delivering lines written by 4 year olds....it's absolute codswallop.It's only saving grace is in fact it's awfulness, which is cringingly amusing.Only watch this garbage if you have nothing better to do......no...in fact do nothing instead, it's more entertaining.
shogun_alessandro1 This motion picture has to be one of the most stupid films I have ever seen. I'm even surprised I watched it till the end (Its 7.4 rating influenced me, I admit). It vaguely makes a connection between scenes, the protagonist changes his personality without any viable explanation, antagonists are poor imitations of evil individuals in other films, and the overall script is embarrassing. This movie is amusingly boring (I know, a paradox...right?). I can't imagine why someone would want to do a film like this. One of the most annoying things about it is that it constantly makes viewers feel that they are about to see something interesting. It quickly disappoints, however... I wouldn't recommend it!
