* AdaptationalHeroism: In the original web series, Andover was more of a WellIntentionedExtremist, keeping a woman as a prisoner due to the fear chamber not working on her, as he tried to perfect it, partially for her own good and partially for his own determination. Here he stays in legal, ethical boundaries and probably wouldn't think of holding anyone against their will.

Added DiffLines:
Following a traumatizing mass shooting, many survivors found themselves being treated by Dr. Peter Andover (''Creator/RobertEnglund''), who has developed a chamber that immerses them in their worst fears, and then seemingly exorcises them. But the treatment turns out to have its flaws and side-effects, which take a haunting, supernatural form some years later, leaving Andover, his staff and his patients, including Sara, in a fight for their lives. The film acts as a reimagining (or perhaps a StealthSequel) of a Web Series of the same name, also starring Englund.
