The premise, in the publisher's words

That's all you hear by giving a strange looking ticket to the ticketmaster. His friendly voice is the only calming thing with the other creatures around in this place. The mannequin locked in the glass box seems calm at first and the shadow figure too excited and aggressive. Film after film, seems like you'll never escape this place.
