A supernatural slasher where a group of young friends are hunted and killed one by one by vengeful spirits in a haunted house, driven by dread and paranoia rather than character depth.

Six high school students, who have finished their college entrance examinations, accidentally discover a haunted house with eerie rumors to it. Inside there, the students start to hear the whispers of death and vanish one by one, as unstoppable, extreme terror engulfs them.
