Biography for Famke Jannsen
Famke Jannsen as Evelyn Price
How far would you go for a million dollars? Would you spend the night in a haunted house? When twisted billionaire Stephen Price and his devilish wife, Evelyn, offer six strangers one million dollars each, there is only one rule to the game: they'll have to survive one night in a former mental institution, haunted by the ghosts of the inmates killed there, and an insane doctor who did unspeakable things... At first, everyone thinks it is just a prank, but once the entire house automatically seals itself shut, they realize that this is no joke.
