The House Where Evil Dwells
An ancient curse has turned their lives into a nightmare of lust and revenge.
Directed by Kevin Connor
Produced by Cohen, Commercial Credit Holdings
A supernatural horror film where a vengeful samurai ghost forces a family to relive a tragic past of murder and betrayal in a haunted Japanese house.
At the prompting of his diplomat friend, Alex, writer Ted Fletcher takes his wife, Laura, and daughter, Amy, on an extended working holiday. Alex finds a house for them in Kyoto, Japan, and the Fletchers move in, laughing off rumors that the place is haunted. But the ghost of 19th-century samurai Shigero turns out to be very real, and is intent on making the family re-enact an ancient murder-suicide.
