An actress accepts a mysterious job from a peculiar group of strangers that have her go up to a desolate house in the "dead of winter" and audition. Before she knows it she finds herself in the middle of a nightmare where dark secrets are unveiled and horrible things begin to happen to her. The movie is packed with twists and the more complex it gets the less scary it is. Not to say it's not creepy because there are some really dark chilling moments. And the performances from Mary Steenburgen and Roddy McDowell are both solid. The pacing is a bit slow but it's a solid film even if they try just a bit too much with the culmination.
