GHOST CAGE is another cheapo indie about a haunted jail cell. The story plays out in two different time periods, separated by centuries, with a modern owner finding himself possessed by the spirit of a predecessor. A down-on-his-luck C. Thomas Howell shows up for a story devoid of scares, wit and warmth; instead, it's just another tedious indie.

Was this supposed to be a comedy? I just wanted every single one of these morons to die.

In Colton, Deputy Seth Delray (C. Thomas Howell) is hired by Sheriff Hooper (Phillip Troy Linger) and he temporarily moves with his wife Grace (Siri Baruc) and their two children to an old jailhouse while the constructor Calvin (David Schifter) repairs their house. When the local prison has a problem, six inmates are transferred to the soundproof jailhouse that is considered cursed and is located on the second floor of the house. Seth finds the badge of the former sheriff that was murdered in the jailhouse and soon he is possessed by an evil spirit and starts killing the inmates.

"The Jailhouse" is a movie where the lead character performed by C. Thomas Howell is a rip-off Jack Nicholson in "The Shining". The plot begins like many other possession movies, with a family man being possessed by the former jailer. However, the plot point makes the movie pointless and senseless. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "Detenção do Mal" ("Detention of the Evil")
