Burnt Offerings

Desperate for respite from the oppressive Brooklyn summer, Ben and Marian Rolfe seize an unbelievable offer: a sprawling upstate New York mansion for a pittance, provided they care for the unseen, elderly Mrs. Allardyce residing in a locked room. What begins as a dream vacation quickly sours as the house itself seems to come alive, subtly warping the family's dynamics and consuming their individual identities. Marian becomes obsessively engrossed in restoring the decaying estate, while Ben's cheerful demeanor crumbles into irritability and paranoia. Their son, David, experiences unsettling visions. Mrs. Allardyce remains a spectral presence, her meals prepared and left, never seen. As the days bleed into weeks, the Rolfes realize their idyllic escape is a sinister trap, and the house demands a terrible, living sustenance. The terrifying truth behind the intricately carved door, and the true cost of their bargain, slowly unfurls, revealing a profound and malevolent entity that feeds on their very souls.
