Half human and craving the taste of warm blood!

Deep within the house IT waits, IT watches and IT wants! Three college students are lured to a house with a dark history under the false pretense of a $25,000 reward. But soon, the students find themselves trapped within its walls with no way of escape while being haunted by the ghost of a beautiful woman and hunted by the family secret – a monster that craves human flesh!

Terror House emerged from the fertile shot-on-video horror underground of the late-1990s, a period when traditional gatekeepers opened the doors for independent filmmakers to fill shelves with movies for an insatiable VHS and budding DVD market. Mark and John Polonia combine ‘Old Dark House’ movie tropes with a color-soaked, dreamlike supernatural imagery that only SOV can accomplish, while delivering a tried-and-true Polonia trademark … a rubber suit monster run amok. The result is an earnest, more refined and atmospheric production that proved the brothers could compete in the greater retail movie industry of the time while never losing their unique, regional magic touch.
