SYNOPSIS:
In October 1920, Thomas Edison shared with The Scientific American that he was working on a machine that could communicate with the dead. The machine was never found, and some people thought it was a hoax. We begin the film with at an early 20th spirit haunting where the machine is being tested. But things don't go as planned and the device proves to have powers beyond anyone's imagination. Cut to present day. We introduce Randy, a desperate and out-of-touch father whose wife died six years ago, and his teenage daughter, Jane, who never got over it. Her mom was the woman she looked up to. Dad, on the other hand, doesn't get her. Their father/daughter relationship has been strained almost to the breaking point, but Randy keeps trying. Despite his best efforts, Jane still sees him as a real dud with bad fashion sense, a stupid job, and he doesn't even pretend to get her. She misses mom. Our antique hunting duo think they've found the machine hidden underneath an old property, but getting to it won't be easy. Like the temple in “Raiders of the Lost Ark” or the tunnels in “Goonies,” traps have been built to protect to prevent our heroes from reaching the machine. Once found, the machine reveals its true power, a portal to another world. Unwittingly, they unleash spirits into our world and now Randy and Jane must work together to put the genie back into the bottle.
