An author suffering from agoraphobia decides to rent an amazing old house that looks exactly like the one she envisioned for the cover of her latest book. Lauren moves in expecting peace and quiet so she can concentrate on her next novel, but soon starts seeing and hearing things. She starts to wonder if it's all in her mind and begs her therapist to make a trip to visit her.Lauren is unaware of the buildings past use as a house of ill repute, but her nightmares are filled with ghostly images of women throughout the home. There is a creepy caretaker, scary locals, and a town secret that Lauren threatens to uncover.
The architecture of the house is incredible. It was shot at the Amour-Stiner House in Irvington, NY. The house is an octagon and has all sorts of fantastic details.
The movie is an atmospheric ghost story so don't expect to see lots of blood. It relies mostly on a pervasive feeling of uneasiness as you're not always sure what is happening, or why Lauren resorts to some of the stupid moves she does. Really, a floor board breaks and instead of getting your feet over onto another solid board, you drag yourself out the window five stories up onto a tiny ledge? Come on!
