In This House No One Sleeps

Horror

When new parents Alex and Penny retreat from the city and move into a place outside town, the stress and massive sleep-deprivation caused by their infant has both of them seeing things in the house that may or may not exist. Persistent sightings of a strange woman has each of them wondering if they are suffering from hallucinations, or if their new home holds a dark, supernatural presence. As their fragile grasp on reality spirals into delirium, Alex and Penny find themselves nearly helpless to deal with the horrific truth of what is really going in this house.

VIBE

This film feels like a descent into the suffocating exhaustion of new parenthood, where reality blurs with terrifying hallucinations. It's a claustrophobic, dread-soaked experience that preys on primal fears of the unknown within your own home.
