In 1966, a young woman is institutionalized after setting fire to a house, and finds herself haunted by the ghost of a former inmate at the psychiatric ward. She makes desperate escape attempts after the staff ignores her warnings about the spirit.

After nearly a decade away, the much-missed John Carpenter (Halloween, Christine) returned to cinema screens with this chilling, 1966-set horror film. A characteristically suspenseful throwback that effectively, and even refreshingly, draws from both the ghost story and slasher subgenres.
