Storia
Don't Go in the House follows Donald 'Donny' Kohler, a disturbed man with a traumatic past involving his abusive mother who used fire as punishment when he was young. As an adult, Donny stalks women at clubs and takes them to his old house in New Jersey where he kills them using a flamethrower. The movie involves a series of these stalking and murder scenes, interspersed with flashbacks of Donny's childhood trauma.
