A typical southern California suburban family's home is overtaken by malicious ghosts. They kidnap their young daughter who communicates with our world through the TV set. They call in professional ghost busters to try to get her back. After they fail, they resort to a psychic medium. However, it's old fashioned rope that does that eventually does the trick. Glossy, Spielberg-ized treatment of the haunted house genre has so many twists and turns that it feels more like a them park ride. It's fun, but impossible to take seriously.
