You let them back in. You shouldn't have...
Young couple Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they got on an old house deep in the mountains.
One day, a man knocks on the door. He says he lived there years before and asks if he can show his family around.
But, as soon as they enter, strange things start to happen. Eve is desperate for them to leave and never come back. But they can’t – or won’t – take the hint that they are no longer welcome.
Then, Charlie vanishes, and Eve begins to lose her grip on reality.
She’s convinced there’s something terribly wrong with the house and its past inhabitants . . . or is it all in her head?
