Plot Synopsis:

Sometimes the soul of a dead person has been so tainted with evil that it is denied entrance to heaven. It must endlessly wander the borderlands between worlds, desperately searching for a new body to inhabit.

And sometimes it actually succeeds.

Casey Beldon (Odette Yustman) hated her mother for leaving her as a child. But when inexplicable things start to happen, Casey begins to understand why she left. Plagued by merciless dreams and a tortured ghost that haunts her waking hours, she must turn to the only spiritual advisor, Sendak (Gary Oldman), who can make it stop.

    The story of three young teenagers named Mark (Gregory), James (Payne) and Chasely (Lawrence) who stumble upon a serial killer’s hunting ground. Instead of going straight to the police with the evidence they’ve uncovered, Mark and James decide to blackmail the serial killer into killing the man (Dorman) who committed a horrible crime against the two boys years ago. Needless to say, all does not go as planned.

When Lena, a young Polish office cleaner, is befriended by Birdie, she gets drawn into a nightmarish world of torture, murder and perversity. Imprisoned in a suburban House of Horrors and designated a "Mummy's Girl", Lena's only options appear to be to become part of the family - and join them in their insanity - or die.
