The success lies in the apparent realism of the film captured by a video camera that records the reactions of a terrified couple living in a haunted house.

The story is quite simple, a couple decides to spend a night in a home to check but when night falls, the doors open and close without reason, objects moving and strange sounds to frighten the young couple.
