Nestled in isolation and burdened by its dark history, Hill House stands empty and silent, with only Mrs. Dudley, the grumbling caretaker, making daily visits.
The eerie stillness is disrupted by Dr. Montague, a dedicated investigator of supernatural phenomena, who secures a short lease from the current owner to explore the house’s sinister past. Accompanied by three individuals, each drawn by personal reasons to join the investigation, Dr. Montague seeks to uncover the occult forces that have rendered Hill House uninhabitable.
As they delve deeper into the house’s mysteries, their courage is tested by increasingly bizarre and terrifying events, revealing the true horror lurking within.
This production is based on the original Shirley Jackson story, which differs from the Netflix adaption.
