Directed by George Pavlou, written by Clive Barker, produced by Kevin Attew and Don Hawkins.
Average viewer score of 5.3/10 from 145 ratings.
Just a really scary movie. Imagine being in that farmhouse and there's that giant demon-thing coming to get you - will find you. Probably the best Clive Barker film adaptation. Sure it's a B movie but the acting is very nice and the scares are there. I cannot recommend this film enough.
