Synopsis of the whole film:
Set in a suburban town, a teenage girl is seen to run away from her mother’s house to move in with her father. Lara (the teenager) does not realise what she is about to encounter. She enters the house expecting to be greeted by her father who appears to be out.
As she begins to explore the house and move her things in the audience begin to realise that she is not alone in the house, and that she is being watched. Lara calls her father who answers and says that he has been called out of town due to business and will be back a.s.a.p. A little spooked by the house Lara calls her boyfriend Matt explaining what has happened and he agrees to come and stay with her until her father comes back from business.
Soon the couple realise that there is something seriously wrong, and both say that they have seen a young girl walking around by the river and in the garden. Matt says that they are probably paranoid and due to the events that have happened all they need is a good night’s sleep and to put it to the back of their minds. Suddenly they couple wake in the middle of the night to find the girl standing at the end of the bed. She says that she is merely there to warn them that the same fate that had befallen her will happen to Lara and she must leave as soon as she can. They demand to know what she means but she vanishes in to thin air.
Overtaken by curiosity the couple find the old house records in a desperate attempt to find out who the girl was. They soon find out more than they wanted to. Her name was Lucinda Kent she lived in the house over a 100 years ago and was found brutally murdered along with her mother and brother her father was also found dead next to them and it seemed that he had taken his own life.
Confused Lara and Matt decide to leave and get away from the area, yet as they are about to leave Lara’s dad arrives back and says to the two that they are being stupid, that they were probably just imagining things and that they are perfectly safe with him. Reassured they decide to stay.
The next day the couple find that they cannot leave the house the doors are locked, and when they go down to the basement in search of tools to get out they find Lara’s mother and brother dead in the cellar. Frantically trying to find a way out they realise that what happened all those years ago was the father had killed his family and took his own life as he was ashamed of what he had done.
Lara and Matt as they try and leave the basement are confronted by Lara’s father as he points a shotgun at the two and states that he had to do it. But before he can shoot them both Matt leaps for the gun two shots are released in the struggle one hitting Lara’s Dad. As he lies bleeding to death on the floor Matt turns to reassure Lara and finds that she has also been shot.
He holds her until she dies and you see him leave the house before the police arrive. He later discovers that the young man who was courting Lucinda had been at the house when her father had gone insane and he disappeared after the family had been killed.
