Dark Circles
In This House No One Sleeps
Directed by Paul Soter
Produced by After Dark Films
A psychological horror film that exploits the vulnerability of new parenthood, blurring the line between sleep-deprived delusion and genuine supernatural threat.
When new parents Alex and Penny retreat from the city and move into a place outside town, the stress and massive sleep-deprivation caused by their infant has both of them seeing things in the house that may or may not exist. Persistent sightings of a strange woman has each of them wondering if they are suffering from hallucinations, or if their new home holds a dark, supernatural presence. As their fragile grasp on reality spirals into delirium, Alex and Penny find themselves nearly helpless to deal with the horrific truth of what is really going in this house.
