Two teenage girls shack up together in the haunted house of a small town. Swamped by loneliness, drug abuse and psychosis, it seems their life choices will repeat indefinitely. When they're joined by a more precocious and popular girl from out of town, it can only lead to … the basement.
Based on a true story, The Damned chillingly examines the darker side of small-town dynamics and human nature.
