But in this sleepy community of friendly neighbors, a horrific series of occurrences awaits them: Their teenage daughter is being tormented by grisly visions.

And deep within the heartland darkness, one of The Seven Gates of Hell demands the blood of the innocent to unleash the creatures of the damned.

The Wicker Ham.
What a waste of story potential and cast. Plot has James Tupper and Anne Heche as a religious family moving to Stull, Kansas, a place rumoured to contain one of the Gateways to Hell. Pretty soon it’s evident that the locals are not all they seem to be, trouble is is that the makers take an age for anything of note to really happen on the screen, and when it does the intended frights and terror are tepidly played. Clancy Brown gives his character some plausible heft, Rebekah Brandes gives the best performance as the troubled teen striving to save her sister, but everything in the second half of the film falls apart; or down a giant plot hole if you prefer! the cool ending saves it from total damnation, mind. 5/10
