Dr. Montague, a researcher of the paranormal, invites three people to join him in studying Hill House, an old mansion rumored to be haunted. The group includes the artist Theodora, the timid Eleanor, and Luke, the heir to the estate. At first, they only notice strange noises and movements, but soon the atmosphere turns oppressive, and Eleanor begins to lose her sense of reality, feeling that the house is reaching out to her.
The atmosphere is cold, sharp, and unstable. The house seems alive, but what is even more frightening is how it mirrors the characters’ inner fractures.
