This film was billed as a comedy horror. A Vietnam vet and author called Roger Cobb is living alone, having divorced his wife. His son went missing a while ago and he is still trying to come to terms with life. His aunt hangs herself in an old house she lived in and Roger decides to move in there. He soon finds that the house has a secret and that monsters live there. He has a nosy neighbour who tries to help Roger through a bizarre sequence when he shoots his ex wife, rescues a neighbours son from a monster and survives a drop into the darkness from his bathroom cabinet. In this place he finds his son and brings him back and the film ends with his ex-wife arriving and Roger looking pleased with himself.
Neither comedy or horror, this film falls flat on its face in a place it is difficult to come back from, rather like the character's son. I would avoid this unless you like special effects that are not CGI based. There are some monsters in the film but they move awkwardly and slowly and are not all that scary.
