The eerie surroundings are the perfect dwelling for the scary little ghoulies living in the secret basement, unbeknown to anyone except Sally. It is now up to the young ‘un to convince her parents that she is not playing silly beggars before the evil species pull them all into the depths below.
The script was co-written by Matthew Robbins (Dragonslayer, Mimic, The Concert) and del Toro. Co-stars Guy Pearce, Alan Dale, Nicholas Bell, Jack Thompson, Julia Blake.
