Synopsis

Inspired by true events.

A group of game developers decide to base their new horror genre video game "Halls of Terror" on the goal of making it all the way through an old abandoned hospital. When the group discovers the Old Torrance State Mental Hospital in the small town of Blairsville, Pennsylvania, they think they've found the perfect place to shoot the footage for the game.

The hospital was closed in the mid 1960's, due to patient neglect, and is renowned for it's inhumane treatment of it's patients.

What the group doesn't realize is that they are walking into a 50 year old secret, that some of the town's people have been keeping about 20 year old Sarah Watson.

The papers said that Mrs. Watson committed suicide after being institionalized for a bout of depression and schizophrenia, following her failed marriage to her highschool sweetheart.

There are a few people in town who know what really happened to Sarah, and they've kept that dark secret for 5 decades.

Something they forgot is that there was one other person who knows what happened to Sarah, and that's...Sarah.

Her spirit has been in the abandoned asylum since her death, and she's not only wanting her story told, but she wants revenge.

While the town's people try to keep out of towners from coming in and exploring the old hospital, Sarah waits patiently for those that ignore the warnings, and step into her domain.

Tresspassing on these grounds will bring you face to face with Sarah, and your darkest fears. A glance into Sarah's dead eyes will allow you to enter her mind, and reveal only a piece of the deadly puzzle through vivid, forced flashbacks that allows her victims to see what happened to her. The catch is that you won't live to tell it, as she uses your darkest secrets against you.

As the group delves further into the old hospital, they begin to discover it's dark secret, through leftover documents, and equipment found in rooms used to "treat" patients.

One of the twists in this movie, will be the secret that one of the females in the group discovers about herself, and how it plays an important role in the movie.

This is more than a ghost story, but a story of the evil that has embraced an entire town through the deadly secrets they try so desperately to keep.

Are you brave enough to enter Torrance, and learn what happened to Sarah?
