The Jailhouse Storyline

Small town, the American dream. A blue-collar family living the idyllic rural lifestyle. Nothing is out of place save for the lacking white picket fence – and the old JAIL that occupies the 2nd floor of their century-old home. Seth Delray knew the possibilities before he moved his wife and two kids into the old jailhouse, but the Sheriff assured him that it would take an act of God to put that place back into service. Times were tight, and it was just too good of a deal to refuse. That is, until the county jail caught fire. The Sheriff’s hands were tied and he had to put displaced inmates anywhere he could find iron bars with a locking door. The Delray house was his only option. For Seth the worst wasn’t the criminals locked like animals in the soiled cages above his living room. It was the mortal fear in his children’s eyes, it was the piercing cold looks from his wife. It was that deep, dark creeping recognition that something had happened there, something terrible, something that would grip his soul with hundred year old hands squeezing hate from unknown depths. No longer did the birds sing upon the morning lit branches beyond the barred windows of the old jailhouse. No one could know the confinement of such a place and the horror it brings… the bleak hopelessness of one without freedom… …the inescapable iron bars of guilt and regret into which revenge imprisons a man’s mind.

The Jailhouse Movie Reviews

Tedious indie

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.

Horrible

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

The Plot Point Makes the Movie Pointless and Senseless

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”)
