A found-footage paranormal investigation that trades narrative polish for raw, claustrophobic dread in a historically haunted location.

Four non-actors, with no script, lock themselves in a haunted Louisiana plantation home overnight to film what takes places. The Lalaurie plantation, site of grisly murders, comes alive before their camera lens and they experience a night more terrifying and incredible than they imagined.
