Show description
While architect Alex Hurst and his new girlfriend Kim restore their Gothic mansion's period interiors, Alex's young daughter Sally investigates the macabre history and dark corners of the estate. Spurring Sally's investigations are the voices-rasping whispers that call out to her from the basement, promise her understanding and friendship, are so very hungry and would like to be set free. When Sally gives into her curiosity, she opens a gateway into a hellish underworld from which an army of beady-eyed, sharp-clawed monsters emerge, small in size but endless in number. She soon discovers the secret to fight them is to never turn off the lights since these little monsters are scared of light. Sally desperately tries to warn the whole house, but there's just one problem: no one believes her.
