60
years ago, Redding Asylum was shut down for illegal human experiments
gone wrong and all evidence was destroyed in the crematorium... or
was it? 60 years later, a group of student breaks into the building
and unleashes the ashes of the damned. One girl with her own
traumatic experience with being put into an asylum, and her three
others who anger the spirit of a known serial killer in A.D. Calvo's
House Of Dust (2013).
A
tragic story that becomes a party ghost story for those college
students, no one imagined it could be real until it happens. What
was to be a night of fright and fun, soon turns into a horror when
three students accidentally spill the ashes in an abandoned
crematorium.... the next day they begin acting out of character to
satisfying the ghost's lust and need for killing. Their only hope
lies in the only who wasn't effected, the mental unstable girl
...whom nobody believes.
This
was your typical teen horror story, unfortunately it sets up and
explains everything early on so the audience KNOWS what's coming.
Scenes are shot setting up for the ghost, you know the ghost will
appear before it evens appear. It was totally not surprising or
scary for those whom watched plenty horror/ghost films.
The
anamorphically enhanced image was too soft throughout, but the lossy
Dolby Digital sound was not bad and there are no extras.
