Synopsis

Nothing is more terrifying than to realize your home, your family, your neighborhood, the very walls and ceilings that surround you have turned against you. When there is no safety to be found in what is supposed to be the very safest of places, the deepest form of psychological fear abounds. This theme has wended its way through some of the most unsettling and sophisticated horror-thrillers in movie history. From the kindly-seeming next-door neighbors secretly practicing satanic rituals in "Rosemary’s Baby" to the idyllic retreat which dissolves into family madness in "The Shining" to the lonely little boy who finds apparitions of the dead in urban hallways in "The Sixth Sense" - the idea of "home sweet home" becoming unbearably haunted has long fired the artistic imagination.
