Actor-turned-director Murray Fahey set this haunted house horror flick in the suburbs of Australia. The film opens with brash American Lynn Graham (Belinda McClory) moving into her new suburban dream home with her three kids, including teenaged Danny (Joshua Leonard). Unfortunately, the house -- which has been abandoned for the past 30 years -- has long been rumored to be haunted after the murder of a pair of children. Soon friends and associates are being dragged to their own deaths by killer sentient weeds that emerge from under the house. The younger two children become obsessed, and the neighbor's cute daughter Bronwyn (Lauren Hewett) goes from being Danny's potential first love to being his killer. This film was screened at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival.
