LET'S SCARE JESSICA TO DEATH

“Something is after Jessica. Something very cold, very wet...and very dead.”

Newly released from a mental ward, Jessica hopes to return to life the way it was before her nervous breakdown. But when Jessica moves to a country house with her husband and a close friend, she finds a mysterious girl living in there. Jessica's terror and paranoia resurface as evil forces surround her.
