The Dwelling

1993 · 90 min

A grimy low-budget descent into sleazy supernatural dread, more lurid and cheap than truly scary, but it leaves a sour lingering unease.

Overview
When Andy moves into The Dwelling, his life looks perfect. He is starting college and making friends with his sexy neighbor, Pam. Curiosity about the bizarre noises from the "empty" apartment lures Andy and Pam into a frenzy of Satanic depravity, where they discover there can be a fate worse than death!
