“...Silence lay steadily against the wood and stone of Hill House, and whatever walked there, walked alone.”
When the painfully naïve Eleanor Vance, cut off from the reality due to her mother’s illness, is persuaded by Dr John Montague to spend the summer at the infamous Hill House in his attempt to prove the existence of the supernatural, a series of terrible and inexplicable events are set in motion, changing the course of this young woman’s life forever.
In F. Andrew Leslie’s adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s acclaimed study in fear, it soon becomes clear that for Hill House, and all those who dwell within, the ghosts of the past can be just as deadly as those who walk its hallways.
