Synopsis: Arthur and his two children, Kathy and Bobby, inherit his Uncle Cyrus's estate: a glass house that serves as a prison to 12 ghosts. When the family, accompanied by Bobby's Nanny and an attorney, enter the house they find themselves trapped inside an evil machine "designed by the devil and powered by the dead" to open the Eye of Hell. Aided by Dennis, a ghost hunter, and his rival Kalina, a ghost rights activist out to set the ghosts free, the group must do what they can to get out of the house alive.

Now, where is your brother?

He`s with Maggie.

Was with Maggie. We were racing

and we saw aII the gIass--

You`re supposed to watch him.

That`s what I pay you for.

Bobby.

Down here.

Maggie?

Come on down and play.

Is that you?

Maggie?

Stop pIaying games.

Bobby? l have something for you.

We`ll have lots of fun.

Don`t come down, Bobby.

Stay upstairs.

Don`t follow her.

Down here, Bobby.

Bobby, don`t come down.

Bobby? Around the corner.

Don`t come down here!

That`s it.

You guys, I`m gonna teII Dad!

Bobby!

I`II find Bobby.

But I want you both out of here.

-But, Dad--

-No ``buts``!

I want you both to wait in the car.

I`II be out as soon as I find the kid.

-Why are you freaking out?

-Just this once, don`t argue with me.

What happened to the door?

Son of a b*tch!

I cannot beIieve this.

I`m going to have to break it down.

Back away!

It`s quite dramatic...

...but you`re wasting your time.

It`s aII seaIed up.

-Weren`t you in an orange jumpsuit?

-Don`t go there.

What do you mean, ``aII seaIed up``?

What part of that code

are you having troubIe cracking?

The entire house is seaIed up.

-There must be another way out.

-I`ve Iooked.

We`II Iook again, right after I find my son.

Now get up.

That`s aII right, I`II wait right here.

I don`t know what is going on here,

or who the heII you are.

And my son is missing.

So, untiI those questions are answered,

you`re not Ieaving my sight.

Now, get up!

AII right. Breathe.

Did the Iawyer spIit?

Bobby.

Bobby.

Come on, guys! Stop hiding!

Bobby!

-Bobby.

-Come on out now, paI!

Stop screwing around.

GIass famiIy Robinson,

you`re wasting your breath.

This is ectobar gIass. He won`t hear you.

This is shatterproof and soundproof.

What are these?

That`s a IittIe harder to expIain.

They`re containment speIIs.

Ghosts can`t cross those.

-Ghosts?

-Yes, ghosts.

The supernaturaI reaIm has its own Iaws.

For ghosts, it`s speIIs.

Written or spoken, the ghosts

have to obey whatever the speIIs say.

The entire basement is fiIIed with ghosts.

In this basement?

Of course, in this basement.

If it was next door, I wouIdn`t give a sh*t!

Dad!

-I can prove it.

-I gave a pair of those to Bobby.

SpectraI viewers.

You can see ghosts with these.

Bobby, come on.

-I don`t see any ghosts.

-Because they`re Iocked downstairs.

Dad!

There`s more of this crazy speII sh*t

on the fIoor.

Let me see those.

Bobby! Come on out, paI!

Hidden barrier speIIs.

Why wouId he need more protection?

AII right, that`s enough.

This is not heIping.

Do me a favor and stop

with aII the haunted house nonsense...

...at Ieast untiI we find the kid

and figure a way out of here.

Bobby, come on.

I don`t know where he couId be.

No, no!

Wait!

What did I just say,

that there was a petting zoo downstairs?

No!

There are ghosts downstairs, Arthur.

Right, right. But you aIso said...

...that they`re aII Iocked up. Right?

-No. No way.

-Wait.

Listen.

I`II make a deaI with you.

I`II pay you whatever Cyrus owed you...

...if you just heIp me...

...find my son.

UnbeIievabIe. Get out of my way.

Bobby.

Get out of the basement.

You need to go upstairs.

You need to put on those glasses.

Leave me alone!

That`s it. That`s a good boy.

Bobby.

Bobby.

Go upstairs and find your father.

Mom?

Go on.

Go upstairs!

Go find Kathy.

Watch out.

Watch out.

Bobby! Come on!

You don`t have to scream, aII right? Just...

...chiII.

-This way.

-HoId on. Listen to me.

This wiII take forever.

This pIace is just too big.

Kathy and I wiII head up this way.

You two check down there.

-No, I don`t think we shouId spIit up.

-It`s okay.

Go in a straight Iine, turn around.

We`II meet back here in five.

Five. Back here.

Don`t touch anything.

-I don`t want to go with him!

-Go ahead.

Let`s go back to the ghost thingy.

There are ghosts down here.

If you don`t beIieve me, Iook for yourseIf.

I toId you, I can`t see any ghosts.

What the heII? Give me those.

Let me see. Why are these open?

I was down here before.

They weren`t open.

-God! I hate it when they do that!

-Do what?

They wait for you to put your face

up to the gIass, then give you...

...a big, fat ``boo``!

Don`t do that!

God.

See it?

-It`s, it`s....

-A ghost.

Just Iike I`ve been saying aII night!

FinaIIy, a beIiever!

Ghosts are around us aII the time.

Most of them can`t hurt us.

Most don`t want to.

Ghosts here, ghosts there, no one cares.

But there are exceptions,

Iike this bad-ass behind me.

Those who die vioIentIy stay in

a tortured reaIm, so that`s aII they know.

What is he doing?

I don`t know. I can`t see.

I don`t have the gIasses.

I`ve had it with this. It`s time to go.

-Now! PIease!

-Don`t touch me.

WiII you come on?

Come on, ghost boy! Move your ass!

It`s time to go.

Dad, sIow down. We`re going to get Iost.

Dad!

Dad.

Listen to me.

He`s going to be okay.

We`re going to find him.

I am so ready to Ieave this pIace.

-Oh, boy.

-What?

-That`s the symboI of The JackaI.

-What`s The JackaI?

The JackaI is the CharIie Manson of ghosts.

If he`s out, screw the kid.

We`ve got to get out of this basement.

Maybe Rafkin was right, and maybe there--

Kathy!

Think about what you`re saying.

There is no such thing as ghosts.

Kathy.

Kathy!

What is it? I can`t see it!

TeII me where it is!

Get off!

HoId on! Stay with me!

Come on, puII!

-Who are you?

-Never mind, just puII.

Sh*t! Don`t speak. Don`t move.

Somehow...

...we got behind enemy Iines.

Hurry!

PIease, hurry!

Hey, IittIe guy.

-How.

-Don`t tease the ghosts.

-WiII you shut up?

-You shut up. You keep pissing them off.

Go.

-Maggie!

-What?

Where?

I can`t see without the gIasses, idiot!

WeII, I can see.

And I think you shouId go this way!

Go, go!

It`s aII right. I`ve got you.

Look at me.

Daddy.

It`s okay.

Who the heII are you?

And what the heII was that?

My name is KaIina Oretzia.

I`m in the spirit recIamation business.

What?

I free trapped souIs. Cyrus--

Forget Cyrus, who traps souIs,

for a damn second.

What are you doing here?

Looks to me Iike I`m saving your ass.

Oh, my God!

It`s over there! It`s over there!

Give him your gIasses.

Come on!

Oh, my God.

UnbeIievabIe.

Another one of Cyrus`s victims.

I hope to God the barrier speIIs hoId.

Victims?

Cyrus had a nasty habit of ensIaving souIs.

That`s why I`m here.

I intend to set them aII free.

Listen to me.

I need to know...

...how you got in here.

I sIipped through an opening in the house

when it shifted.

-An opening where?

-It`s cIosed now. It won`t happen again.

Let me show you. This is the Arcanum.

Many peopIe died

in the quest for this book.

It was written in the 15th century

by an astroIoger named BasiIeus.

In it, he describes

the making of a certain machine.

One that can see into the future.

He wrote it whiIe he was under

demonic possession.

I can`t beIieve Cyrus buiIt it.

BuiIt what? What are you taIking about?

BasiIeus`s device.
