Who knew a film about a captured supernatural entity could be so mind-numbingly boring? Stormhouse begins dead on arrival and doesn't offer so much as a single post-mortem twitch the rest of the way.

It's like the filmmakers came up with a way to can mediocrity in cinematic form. There's a little bit of gore, but don't expect any chills or thrills or anything resembling suspense.

So, yeah, some kind of British black operations unit has managed to capture a supernatural entity and apparently wants to turn it into some kind of weapon against terrorists or something. Okay. So far, though, the only thing they've been able to do is keep it contained in a cell using an electromagnetic fence.

Enter American ghost whisperer Haley Sands (Katie Flynn), who has been sent to the underground base by some government minister or another to try and communicate with the invisible and silent prisoner. She does seem to make some kind of connection with the thing, but the lieutenant in charge opts to take more extreme measures for getting answers.

Naturally, the entity ends up escaping and all hell breaks loose down there.

One of the many frustrating things about this movie is the fact that the whole thing is basically shot in the dark, so be prepared to turn off all the lights or risk some serious eyestrain trying to follow what is happening onscreen. Some of the dialogue can be hard to make out, as well, which is particularly a problem if you're watching it on Amazon's "we don't need no stinkin' closed captioning" video service.

Really, though, there's so little story here that it doesn't really matter how much you can actually see and hear.
