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
