The premise
After a doctor kills his mistress and himself while researching the mysterious previous owner of his Boston home, his colleague, Dr. Norman Boyle, takes over his studies and moves his family into the Boston mansion. Soon after, Boyle's young son Bob becomes plagued by visions of a young girl, who warns him of the danger within the house.
Horror Vault's take
When Dr. Norman Boyle relocates his family to a sprawling New England mansion to continue a colleague's ill-fated research, strange forces begin closing in almost immediately. His young son Bob is haunted by visions of a mysterious girl who seems to know the house's dark secrets — secrets that may be far more lethal than anyone suspects. Director Lucio Fulci wraps the film in his signature dreamlike dread, where logic bends and atmosphere reigns supreme. What lurks in the basement of the Boyle house is the stuff of Italian horror legend.
