A little girl (Skyler Wexler) drawing chalk figures on a sidewalk is drawn to a decrepit old mansion. Inside, she witnesses the birth of five horrifying apparitions. They creep towards her, determined to get outside the building and into the world.[2]
As a result of Vuckovic's reputation in the horror world and former position as editor-in-chief of Rue Morgue magazine, her first film project attracted a world class crew of experienced horror filmmakers. Guillermo del Toro is the executive producer for the film, Karim Hussain is the director of photography, Douglas Buck is the editor, and the special effects and monsters were designed and built by Spectral Motion.[3]
The score for the film is written and performed by the heavy metal band Redeemer.
