About the film
Discover what lies behind the cellar door.
What it’s about
After a miscarriage, Sera and John leave the city for a fresh start in suburban Portland. A mysterious man named Emmet offers them a stunning old mansion for free, with a single condition: they must never open the cellar door. The couple accepts, but they are not the first to receive this tempting deal, and the house holds a terrible secret.
What hooks you
Vaughn Stein directs Jordana Brewster and Scott Speedman as the couple caught in a web of temptation and dread. The film builds on a premise where one forbidden act could unravel everything, and the house itself becomes a character of unease.
Who it’s for
It will appeal to those who like slow-burning suspense, domestic tension, and stories where a simple rule becomes an obsession.
