- Synopsis
- Realtor Steve Freeling and his family have moved into a new house on the Cuesta Verde development estate. But there they find that their new house is haunted. This proves at first amusing. But then in the midst of a storm their youngest daughter Carol Ann is sucked into the closet and her disembodied voice then comes to them, pleading for help from inside the tv. With the help of a team of parapsychologists and a medium they attempt to rescue her from the demonic forces holding her prisoner in the realm beyond.
