A haunting 1970s horror-drama where a sentient house becomes a site of paranormal dread and existential unease, blending domestic intimacy with supernatural menace.

The premise deals with a family living in a country-house which turns out to be 'alive' – to the point where a TV crew is brought in to 'capture' the paranormal phenomena
