Having found the ideal squat, they break in and go about the merry business of dressing the stark interior to reflect their artistic selves. Darkness pervades their new dwelling place, a darkness through which they discover the full implications of their intrepid choice. A nightmare unfolds that traps the viewer and protagonists alike in a terrifying and unforgiving new reality. Who or what is orchestrating their bloody demise and why? The house appeared to be empty and yet a malevolent force is clearly at work. -- (C) IFC Films

Critic Reviews
-
Steve "Uncle Creepy" Barton, Dread Central
In the end we crawled deep into this Spiderhole and all we found was a truly beaten dead horse.
-
Scott Weinberg, FEARnet
Drearily familiar, lazily constructed, and simply not very interesting. No spiders, either.
-
Bill Gibron, PopMatters
It's not perfect. Heck, at times, it's barely passable.
-
Zara Miller, Little White Lies
While it ticks a lot of the right horror boxes, the skeleton just never pops out of that cupboard.
-
David Parkinson, Radio Times
While Simpson's roving eye is sometimes nastily effective, the unremarkable storyline clings doggedly to generic cliché and too many crucial plot points feel rushed and unpersuasive.
