OVERVIEW

Ben and Marian Rolf, along with their son David and aunt Elizabeth, rent a Victorian mansion in the California countryside. The owners of the house are the Allardyces, and they inform the new tenants that as a requirement for the rental, they must share the house with their elderly mother who lives in an upstairs room. They explain that their mother is obsessed with her privacy and that they must leave food outside her door during their stay.

Accidents soon start to occur whilst they are in the house including the suspicious death of Aunt Elizabeth. Marian becomes increasingly obsessed by the house as Ben becomes more and more depressed. Could it be that the house is exerting a malevolent influence over its occupants?
