Relatives and colleagues of reclusive writer Samantha Ballard track her to an isolated home in the California desert where they discover her some nine months later severely traumatized. She greets them with a grim announcement that they will die if they attempt to leave the house.

After Samantha's ex-husband and his girlfriend suffer horrible deaths while trying to escape, the others realize that she was serious. They begin to scheme a safe way out even as the malevolent force that rules the house stirs the worst fears of each of them, causing them to wonder: Can they escape the evil house before their fears kill them?

"Fear House" doesn't rely on over-the-top gore and blood special effects, but the psychological fear of what really scares us deep inside. While trapped in the house, each person meets their deepest fears head on and it's up to them on how to handle it as to whether they will survive or not. This film is part Phantasm, part Evil Dead and part Black Christmas. It's not what you see that terrorizes you, but your own sub-conscience is your enemy.

Davide and his fiancee Alice aren’t two simple serial killers. They are looking for something inside the bodies of their victims, which forms the mystery of the story. And they will continue to kill people until they find what they are looking for. Their crazy love story and strange research go on, but something changes when they meet a weird man named Mirco. This guy seems to know many things about Alice and Davide’s past, and it seems that he isn’t scared of them.

"Mom?"
Her doubtful voice spoken to the darkness.
A hall, in front of her. Pale moonlight, coming through a half-closed door, flooding the place in a milky glare.
"Mom?"
Her steps a light hum over the silence, not louder than the gentle whisper of her nightgown, cautiously.
A muffled noise, barely audible.
"Mom? Mom, are you there?"
The creak of a door.
