The Evil

An ancient horror slept beneath the elegant old mansion... witness its awakening. A small group of ten people set out to remodel an enormous, long-abandoned mansion. They are led by a psychologist and his wife, who immediately sense something very unusual about the mansion. It just "feels" strange inside. Exploring the basement, the doctor locates a dust-covered trap door and opens it with great effort and difficulty. Immediately an all-powerful "force" rages out of the opening, causing an unexplainable wind and chill to blow throughout the mansion. This "force", the embodiment of Satan, slowly overtakes everyone and everything within. The windows and doors are all shut tight - and no one knows how or why. A ghost appears. The pet dog goes berserk and attacks its master. Deadly accidents occur. Electricity goes haywire. In the end, the doctor, one of the few survivors, confronts the "force" and manages to disrupt its evil rampage just long enough to get a few remaining people out of the house - forever!
