I Trapped the Devil

Matt and Karen decide to visit Matt's troubled brother Steve during the Christmas holidays. They arrive at Steve's home to find the windows blacked out, creating an eerie atmosphere that makes Matt feel uneasy.

Upon settling in, Steve shares his disturbing experiences, revealing that he has been haunted by visions of his deceased wife, Sarah. The visions manifest through static on the television, adding to the tension of the visit.

Adding to the unease, Steve receives disturbing phone calls from an unknown caller. This revelation raises alarm bells for both Matt and Karen, who begin to question Steve's mental state and the safety of their visit.

Steve reveals a padlocked door in the basement, insisting it conceals a man he claims is the devil himself. The brothers question the bizarre situation as they hear a man's voice pleading for help from behind the door.

Steve cryptically describes a malevolent force he believes has taken human form and is trapped behind the door. He seeks Matt and Karen's belief in his strange story, despite knowing how absurd it sounds.

As the conversation deepens, the brothers reflect on their fractured relationship. Steve presents a book that claims the devil leads people to commit sin, firmly believing he has contained this evil by locking it away.

Steve shows Matt a bizarre room filled with newspaper clippings illustrating the devil's influence. Among the articles is a flyer for a missing girl who managed to return home, reinforcing Steve's dark theories.

Steve awakens tormented by visions of his deceased wife, Sarah. He mocks the imprisoned man, confronting his own feelings of powerlessness about the tragedies that have befallen his family.

In a desperate, misguided attempt to maintain control, Steve chloroforms Karen, locking her away. The tension escalates as he also confines Matt, leading to a series of terrifying supernatural encounters.

A chaotic altercation ensues where Steve accidentally stabs Matt, leading to his death. Distraught, Steve wanders away, leaving Karen to discover the horrific outcome of their ordeal.

In a climactic moment, Karen confronts Steve, who insists she can see 'her' if she opens the basement door. In self-defense, Karen shoots Steve, but the imprisoned man's sinister voice continues to lure her.

Police officers Alan and Ben arrive at the house, discovering the grim scene of Steve's lifeless body. Drawn into the horrific atmosphere of the basement, Alan hears the mysterious voice pleading for rescue.

In a haunting climax, Ben, entranced by the ominous energy, decides to open the padlocked door. What he uncovers is deeply disturbing, leading to an unsettling fate for all involved.

A young girl is seen walking past the lifeless bodies of Matt and Karen as she exits through the front door. Her presence signifies the chilling and unresolved fate of everyone involved in the tragic events.
