Synopsis:

When Dane and his brother Lucas move from the big city to a small rural town, they believe their lives are set to become a lot more boring. Until they find a mysterious hole in the floor of their new basement...


Intentions:

I found this movie in an old DVD binder last year and had vague memories of having watched it as a kid. Watching it again years later, I realised that it had had a big impression on me, though a few areas left it very lacking. Despite a strong and tense start many odd choices make the original movie more of a laugh-fest than a scream-fest. So I created this edit to make the movie the best it could be by removing those flaws and improving the good parts that remain.



Change List:

I don't remember every minor cut I made in this edit so I'll just go over the broad strokes: SPOILERS AHEAD: -Removed instances of cheesy 2000s dialogue -Trimmed the pool party scene -Cut a lot of the experimentation when they find the hole -Made the TV scare more subtle -Trimmed the diner scene -Made the bathroom scene darker and less blue -Removed all instances of the clown puppet moving -Improved the look of the little girl ghost -Removed the little girl ghost's Charlie Chaplain walk -Removed Crazy Carl -Added some spooky sound effects to the Police Officer -Removed the Police Officer crawling on the floor -Removed the "Mine got broken" line
