The premise

A father who experiments with his son's psychokinetic powers is unaware that these experiments have released a demon from hell which lives in his son's closet, preparing to take over the young boy's soul.

Horror Vault's take

When a well-meaning but reckless father pushes his young son's extraordinary psychokinetic gifts to their limits, something ancient and malevolent stirs in response. A demon — seemingly drawn by the boy's untapped power — takes up residence in the most fear-laden space in any child's world: the closet. As the supernatural presence grows stronger, those closest to Cameron begin to sense that the danger lurking behind that door is far beyond anything they can explain. This late-80s chiller blends childhood dread with demonic menace for an effectively creepy slow burn.
