Hey what’s up guys
Today I’ll show you a supernatural horror film: “The House”
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins in a typical wooden house
It carries a bloody history marred with violence and death
Inside, the brutal memories are still echoing within the walls, where three women died
Screams of anguish reverberate,
as the women’s souls are doomed to relive their suffering over and over again
As morning dawns over a busy city in Thailand,
reporter Chalinee is just winding down from a tiring night
She had just finished her segment on child prostitution;
and she submitted her recording to her boss
The boss offers her a new assignment, this time about child drug abuse
Chalinee grimaces, saying that she is tired of these kinds of stories and she wants something new
On her way out of the building to meet with her boyfriend, she meets her fellow reporter
He wants her to work with him on revisiting a string of cold cases
Intrigued, Chalinee cancels her plans with her boyfriend, and talks more with her colleague
He tells her that he’s working on a documentary about a famous murder case 6 years ago,
involving a professor killing his wife
Interestingly, there are two other similar murder cases
Chalinee browses through newspaper archives about the professor’s murder trial
The wife’s body was never found;
but the police did find some tissue from an internal organ that was cut by a surgeon’s scalpel
The professor is currently on death row, awaiting his execution
Chalinee’s boyfriend has connections;
and he manages to score an interview through the professor’s lawyer
She visits the professor in prison
When he emerges from his cell and sees her, he smirks and then turns right back around
Stunned by the professor’s rejection, Chalinee tries to interview his former colleagues
However, she doesn’t have much luck, since they all refuse to talk to her
That is, except for a young girl who tells her the professor’s house is haunted
Chalinee tracks down the professor’s address
It’s the same house shown at the beginning of the film
But when she gets to the front steps, a man turns her away,
saying that she doesn’t have permission to visit the house
Before she leaves, Chalinee glimpses a woman staring out of one of the upper windows
She gets the woman on tape
She goes back to her office and reviews the tape
It unmistakably proves that what she saw really was a woman
When Chalinee shuts off the TV, it comes back to life a few minutes later
She turns it off again, and prints a picture of the house
Chalinee steps out into the hallway
The building is deserted; and she starts to feel wary of the strange noises she’s hearing
She can almost feel a woman, walking barefoot beside her in a puddle of blood
A strong gust of wind comes; and Chalinee accidentally drops what she’s holding
She bends to pick the papers up; and when she looks up, she is now inside the creepy house
A pool of blood rushes in;
and she hears a woman fearfully whispering to her not to come inside the house
Chalinee whirls around; and suddenly, she is back in the hallway again
She thinks about another interview with a neighbor,
who says that when the professor and his wife moved in, they were a loving couple
They never fought until well after they moved in
Combined with the girl’s story that the house is haunted,
Chalinee formulates a theory that the house had something to do with the murder
Chalinee decides to go back to the house with her video camera
In the corner, she catches a woman staring at her
She walks closer; but the woman has already disappeared
One of the bedroom doors creaks open
When Chalinee peers inside, she sees a different man hacking a woman into pieces
Above him, a demonic creature is hovering and whispering into his ears
Chalinee faints; and the last thing she sees before she closes her eyes,
is a woman standing in the corner
Right then, her boyfriend ventures inside to look for her;
and he finds Chalinee unconscious on the floor
He immediately comes to her aid
Behind the boyfriend, a tall and eerily thin figure steps out of the shadows
The boyfriend’s eyes widen as he sees the creature
Flash forward to hours later when they get back to the city
He appears to be fine; and Chalinee asks to be dropped off at the office
When she leaves, the demon from the house is behind the boyfriend
Meanwhile, Chalinee can’t shake the man’s face from her head
She searches through the archives again, and finds Mr Chalerm
Just as she suspected, Chalerm was accused of murdering his girlfriend too
When the boyfriend gets home to the apartment they share, his mood turns sour,
when he smells that Chalinee has been smoking again
The house is located at the back of a renowned hospital,
and has functioned as a residence for many of the employees, who worked there through the years
Chalinee obtains the residence records, and finds that Chalerm lived there with his girlfriend,
when he was a medical student at the hospital
In 19 92, the skull of the girlfriend was found in a river
Chalerm was accused of murdering her
An interview with his co-worker details a similar story of how Chalerm used to be a kind man,
but his behavior changed after moving into the creepy house
A blackout occurs in the office building, while Chalinee and her colleague are talking to each other
Alone at their apartment, Chalinee’s boyfriend is starting to get paranoid
He imagines that Chalinee is cheating on him with her colleague
Behind the boyfriend, the demon is fueling his paranoid delusions
The boyfriend then wakes up in bed; and Chalinee is sleeping beside him
He immediately tells her that he wants her to quit his job and just stay at home
But Chalinee has never wanted to be the typical housewife; and she is passionate about her career
Before, her boyfriend has always accepted who she is,
and has never pressured her to conform to societal expectations for women
Chalinee disregards his request
; and the boyfriend turns violent, grabbing the back of her neck with force
The next day, Chalinee visits Chalerm in prison
Initially, he gives clipped one-word answers to her question
So she decides to switch tactics, and asks him about the house
This gets Chalerm’s attention
He asks her why she’s interested in the house
She mentions that the house is located behind the hospital,
and has been a residence for medical students and employees for decades
Chalerm asks her if she has visited the house with her boyfriend
He gets oddly excited by this idea; and he cackles maniacally
He tells her that she has made him extremely happy
Chalerm leans in close,
and reveals to her that someone in the house forced him to kill his girlfriend
While walking through the prison, Chalinee hears someone calling for her from the basement
She follows the sound and goes downstairs
There she finds a dark hallway with a door at the end of it
In the corner, a woman is writing the word ‘death’ on the wall with blood
Chalinee recoils in fear, and runs deeper into the basement,
where she finds the words ‘beware’ and ‘don’t come in’, written on the walls too
She runs screaming, and is eventually rescued by an irate prison guard
Chalinee interviews more people living near the house
She finds out that people would see the ghost of the nurse, wandering the streets at night
That night, while driving home on a bridge,
Chalinee has a vision of Chalerm dumping his girlfriend’s body on the river
She stops the car, and steps out to look closer at the swirling water below
In the distance, several wolves are howling
Chalinee hurries back to her car, and sees a different woman emerging from the river
She slowly creeps toward Chalinee, who closes her eyes in fear
The next thing she knows, she hears several cars honking behind her
This vision leads Chalinee to research the third and earliest murder
It occurred four decades ago, and involved a doctor murdering his nurse wife,
and throwing her body in the river
Later, Chalinee heads to a museum to learn more about the nurse’s case
Suddenly, the lights go dark; and she sees the nurse’s reflection on the glass case
Chalinee screams in terror
Meanwhile, Chalerm calls Chalinee’s boyfriend,
under the pretense that he wants to hire him as his lawyer
When the boyfriend meets with him, he proclaims his innocence
He commands the boyfriend to go to the house,
and find the exonerating evidence that is hidden inside a wooden column there
The boyfriend does as he is told, and returns to the house
He finds the wooden column
But before he can do anything, a creature yanks him to the floor
He sees three dark figures standing over him; and he screams out loud
Chalinee wakes up in the hospital
She exits her room, and walks among the nurses and hospital staff milling about
Nobody notices her
It turns out to be the same hospital, where the murderers had worked
She sees a familiar man she recognizes as the doctor, who had killed his nurse wife
It appears that Chalinee is inside a memory once again,
specifically the night her body was found, and the doctor was arrested
She even overhears the hospital staff, telling the doctor that his wife had been raped
She sees the nurse’s body lying on a slab, covered with a cloth
Suddenly, the nurse is in front of her, telling her to be careful
Chalinee runs out of the room, and discovers that she is now inside the house once again
The professor’s wife is kneeling in front of the wooden column
Her head turns all the way without her body moving
Chalinee runs to another room,
and sees a dark figure dragging Chalerm’s girlfriend’s ghost across the floor
The girlfriend grabs her feet, but is eventually swallowed by the darkness
The nurse returns and tells Chalinee to be careful again
Finally, Chalinee wakes up in the real hospital
Shawn is there; and he drives her home
Before he leaves, she thanks him for helping her
Her boyfriend is already waiting for her in their apartment
However, he’s acting strangely
He tells her that he is busy, and closes the bedroom door on his face
The truth is, he is busy researching the three previous murder cases
His mind is racing with the thoughts planted by the demonic creatures;
thoughts that whisper Chalinee is cheating on her
Chalinee delves deeper into her research
She finds out that in the years between the murders, other people briefly stayed at the house
However, they moved out after being haunted by a woman wearing a blue blouse
the same woman Chalinee saw in the window, and the ghost the neighbors were talking about
She then comes to the realization that the nurse, who was the first victim,
must be a vengeful spirit trapped in the house,
who inflicted her pain on the others, and caused the next two murders
Chalinee also watches the tape she recorded on the day that she first went inside the house
After she faints, the camera is still rolling, when her boyfriend rushes to her rescue
Chalinee watches as a dark figure comes up behind him, and then enters his body
Now knowing that her boyfriend is possessed by an evil spirit, Chalinee warily approaches him
But he seems to be in good spirits, and even cooks food for her
However, he forces her to eat with him
She doesn’t notice an empty medicine bottle inside the trash bin
Chalinee reluctantly takes her first bite, and then asks the boyfriend to get her some water
When she thinks that he is out of sight, she spits out the bitter-tasting food
But the boyfriend does see her; and he gets angry
He slaps Chalinee, and chases her with a knife;
all the while the three demonic creatures are behind him,
whispering that he should kill her for betraying him
Then he suddenly sees the necklace he gave her; and he remembers the love they have for each other
For a moment, the spell breaks; and he is back to normal once again
But this moment ends; and the boyfriend pulls out a gun
Chalinee grabs the knife, and plunges the blade into the boyfriend’s chest
He dies in her arms
Then, the pieces fall into place
The medicine bottle and the gun disappear;
and it appears that Chalinee had murdered her boyfriend in cold blood
She realizes that she has been manipulated into killing him,
just like Chalerm and the professor were manipulated into killing their loved ones
Desperate, she contacts the nurse’s spirit, and asks her why she would hurt other people
The nurse denies this allegation,
and tells Chalinee that she has been the one warning her not to come inside the house this whole time
She then starts sharing her horrible experience
The nurse had been raped by three men inside the house;
but her doctor husband did nothing to stop them
After they were done with her, the men stabbed her multiple times
The doctor dumped her still-breathing body in the river
Chalinee decides to end the house once and for all
She returns bearing a container of gasoline, she’s going to use to burn it down
But the house protects itself, and cannot be burned
One of the women’s spirits pointed her to the wooden column in the middle of the house
When she gets near it,
she sees a vision of hell–alluding that the house’s horrors stem from a demonic origin
The three demonic spirits chase Chalinee;
and she makes it to the cellar, where the base of the wooden column is
She struggles to set the column on fire, as a mob of evil spirits tries to stop her
In the end, Chalinee succeeds; and the house goes up in flames, presumably killing her too
A recording of Chalinee plays
In it, she explains that the house’s long history of being a site of war, violence, and hatred,
had turned it into a gateway to hell
It preys on the vulnerabilities of people,
and manipulates them into thinking the worst of their loved ones
The movie ends with Chalinee’s research on the three murder cases not being aired at all
Elsewhere, the house has been renovated after the fire,
and is looking as pristine as the first day Chalinee saw it
In the upper window, a figure could be seen there, waiting for its next victim
