A dysfunctional family moves from the city to a small town into a house in which terrible atrocities have taken place. But no one seems to notice except for Patricia “Pat” Phelps, who’s convinced she’s either depressed or possessed – turns out, the symptoms are exactly the same.

A frantic, wide-eyed portrayal of suburban unraveling turns a classic haunted house setup into a surreal comedy of errors. While the rest of the neighborhood ignores the local carnage, this descent into madness feels both unsettling and absurdly funny.
