Synopsis: 

Blackwood Manor has new tenants. While architect Alex Hurst (GuyPearce) and his new girlfriend Kim (Katie Holmes) restore their Gothicmansion's period interiors, Alex's young daughter Sally (BaileeMadison)-neglected by her real mother and brushed aside by thecareerist father-can investigate the macabre history and dark cornersof the estate. Spurring Sally's investigation are the voices-raspingwhispers who call out to her from the basement, who promise herunderstanding and friendship, who are so very hungry and would like tobe set free. When Sally gives in to her curiosity, she opens a gatewayinto a hellish underworld from which an army of beady-eyed,sharp-clawed monsters emerge, small in size but endless in number: thehomunculi. Confronted with the horror that now threatens to taker herlife and destroy her family, Sally desperately tries to warn the wholehouse, but there's just one problem: no one believes her. Will shemake them understand in time, or will they become another chapter inthe centuries-long horror story of Blackwood Manor?
