Got a bit of character development in the beginning.
Theeeen, kind of boring.
Then it picks up a bit like a gory Hellraiser haunted house about half-way.
The main character is some sort of Matrix chosen one who can see ghosts or see through time or something. And his cop-daddy was like Morpheus or something. He gave him the key from his ughh... neck... to jam it into the Hellraiser demon guy's head to unlock the... nightmare? So he got unlocked out of the other-dimension nightmare and because he has some sort of time-sight superpower or something he could travel back in time out of the house or something. Then got hit by the van he was riding in which led them to get into the car crash. That's where they died I'm assuming and went to hell or the infinite ghost cosmos with various entities or something. I don't really think they went in the house ever it was probably more symbolic or something.
Meh... decent visuals and lighting, really liked the cinematography in general, it was the strong point of the movie. Sort of cliche dirty blind hell people feeling around, humping eachother, blood, dirt, feces "creature people" or whatever, not actually all that interesting. Then there is the hell ring leader with lack of motivation or explanation really how he relates to the characters in any way or did I just miss it? The key made no sense to me. What was the key? There was no actual "key" right? So what was it then, the secret of? The knowledge of? Or was it a literal key that his Nintendo boss weak-point was to jam it in his head and he goes "ahh noooooo! Ok you can leave the purgatory hell house now... bye bye!" very half baked when it comes to story. "atmosphere" and style only take a movie so far IMO, and this wasn't up to snuff to really excuse the lack of good plot as it was "artsy", it was visually appealing, but not enough to really carry its shortcomings.
