Thomas Alexander asks the questions.

Plot: While conducting research for their film, a production crew hold a séance in an abandoned children’s centre, summoning the spirits of the dead youngsters — and something far more malevolent.

Jasper (Olivier Paris) is a young, ambitious filmmaker determined to climb the Hollywood ladder. Working as a lowly production assistant, he seizes the chance to prove himself as a ‘real’ director by suggesting to his cantankerous boss that the crew and actors from their upcoming horror film attend a genuine séance in an old, haunted house as research. The chosen location is an abandoned children’s shelter, shut down 70 years earlier following the mysterious deaths of five children in 1942, reportedly found scared to death. Once the séance begins, the mismatched crew find themselves trapped and tormented by the spirits of the children — and by something even worse.
