Review Summaries
"Steven Price offers six people one million dollars to stay in a haunted mental asylum. The only catch is that they must survive the night. At first everyone thinks that they will make it out, but suddenly the house puts itself on lockdown and makes everyone unsure. Then they start seeing ghosts and some peaple start dying so they try to figure out how to get out."
Dashaun Montanez, Resident Scholar
