Hey what's up guys
Today I'll show you a horror-thriller film: "The Night House"
Spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
The movie begins with the widow's arrival at her lake house,
accompanied by a woman from the burial of her late husband, Owen
They separate after a chat; and she heads inside the house, and trashes the documents given to her
The widow fidgets a letter, while she drowns herself in alcohol before reading it
Then she gathers the rest of the letters, and travels to the storage room, taking another Brandy
She reminisces the memories with her late husband Owen, through watching their wedding day's videos
It's evident happiness presently blooms in the video
That night, she attempts to sleep; but the space on her side bothers her
Then a loud knock intervenes
She intently ignores it, yet it returns with a heavier sound
She roams while investigating downstairs, and finds Nothing
Then she tries to look at the dark workroom, but stops there
When she turns her back from the office door, a black figure appears as the door slowly opens;
but the figure disappears when she closes it
The next day, she walks to her car outside to go to school,
when she hears the dock's staircase's gate squeaking
She approaches the gate to lock it; but then she notices bloody footprints on the floorboard
Then she follows its origin; and it ends beside the parked boat on the dock
Suddenly, a gunshot erupts from the woods, startling her
The widow attends the faculty's assembly of the school
In the crowd, her blonde friend beckons to sit together
The friend assures her things will be fine if she takes a leave;
but the widow reasons that she should work to occupy her time
While in her classroom, she meets a mother demanding a grade
For her, she doesn't care about work for a while; but the mother triggers her
Then the widow bluntly recounts Owen's suicide in the lake
She drives home, and encounters her neighbor ascending from the dock's staircase
She approaches him; and then her neighbor mentions that he covered the rowboat
After a while, They tightly embrace and say he is just repaying her good deeds
Then the widow mentions selling the house along with the boat,
despite that the place was Owen's creation
Amidst talking, she notices the footprints are gone
Then she asks him if he was shooting that morning
But it appears like she's the only one who heard it
This time, she sternly watches a video of Owen busy cutting planks as they build the lake house;
but then turns it off
She collects the videotapes, and carelessly dumps them into the box,
and everything that reminds her of Owen
Then she stumbles upon Owen's sketchbook, and scans the drawn floor plans
She spots odd writings like "trick it, don't listen to it"
Then she reaches the house's illustration and a reversed version
She turns the page to see the first-floor plan as 'our house',
and 'reverse floor plan' on the adjacent drawing
The widow shakes her head, then ignores it and closes the sketchbook
At night, the widow's asleep, when the stereo automatically opens and plays a song
It alarms her from sleep, and quivers at her bed while she listens
Her phone chimes a notification, showing Owen's new text, asking her to come down
Her hands tremble as she types to confront
but the number replies with a message of comfort to be not afraid
She wanders the room, then calls the number
It answers; and Owen's voice directs her to look out the window
She obliges, then sees Owen afloat on the lake's surface; and then he looks at her
In the morning, she wakes up on the bathroom floor,
and gets nervous for a moment because the door got stuck
She budges the door; and it opens to her room
She snatches her charging phone, searches for Owen's messages,
and finds Nothing of last night's conversation
For assurance, she goes to her car,
and brings out his phone from Owen's belongings box; but gets Nothing
Then, she browses the phone gallery,
smiling until she stops on a woman's side profile picture tucking her hair
At first glance, she's sure it's her until she zooms closer into the face, and realizes it's not
Doubtful, the widow shows the woman's photo in Owen's phone to her friend
The friend compliments her blouse in the picture; but the widow clarifies it's not her
Then the friend reminds her that she's simply going through hardships
Thus, the friend explains to the widow that Owen worships her so much
The friend decides to invite her for a drink to ease her mind
At this point, the widow must have thought that everything between her
and Owen was good with no secrets
But things unfold in front of her that lead her to doubt who Owen is
In the bar, the widow, her friend, and two other co-teachers hang around a table
They're drinking and venting, while the widow suddenly asks about their beliefs towards ghosts
Then her friend says she believes in one
Then the widow reveals about experiencing supernatural events
Her companions awkwardly listen as she recounts her dreams,
where her body's awake, but her mind isn't
The co-teacher says it's sleepwalking;
and then she wonders if it's contagious because Owen suffered from it
It happened after Owen built the lake house; and it seems like it's what's happening to her now
Then her co-workers convince her that it's normal to feel someone's presence after their death,
since they'd been married for fourteen years
They inquired if she hadn't noticed anything wrong
But she points out she's the one who suffers from depression; and Owen kept them at bay
Then she tearily assumes her negativity infected the husband
The co-teacher asks if Owen has left a note for her
And to everyone's surprise,
she brings out the envelope with a bloodstain on the corner addressed to her
Then she reads it
"YOU WERE RIGHT
THERE IS NOTHING
NOTHING IS AFTER YOU
YOU'RE SAFE NOW"
Her friend drives her home that night
While in the living room, the widow opens up about her near-death experience due to a car crash
Owen was the first person to know about it
And he even disagreed on the nothingness she felt in those four minutes
Drowsy while she talks, she falls asleep on her friend's legs
While asleep, the stereo bursts open with a distorting noise; and the widow hears Owen call her name
The voice instructs her to go outside
then she finds terrified women fleeing from nowhere to jump off the cliff
She calls them, but no response
Then the voice directs her to the boat, and sees the previous clean boat bloody
Then suddenly, a bloody footprint appears again, but Nothing's there
She asks if it's Owen; and the print walks to her, and an invisible man touches her face
She's about to hold it, but she passes out;
and the invisible man brings her to the boat, that sails toward the other side of the lake
The moon turns scarlet red, and the widow wakes up in front of a reversed identical lake house
She spots other women, who look like her in the house's different rooms
The voice clarifies everything she sees is just dreams
At the moment, she sees Owen hugging and kissing another woman,
then strangles her; but the woman leaves
The widow enters the reversed house;
and when she opens the door, she finds herself sleeping on the couch
Then that girl on the couch wakes up, and herself, who was on the door, disappears
That noon, she examines Owen's laptop,
and discovers a dozen women's photos in the files identical to her
She then goes to the other side to look for a similar house
But she crosses paths with the neighbor,
and asks about the house; but the neighbor says it's all forestry
The neighbor invites her instead for lunch since it's apparent she's not doing well;
but she accepts it later
Lost for words, she finds a similar house
but it's unfinished, dusty, and neglected
She inspects the interior, and upstairs is a rusty metal bucket
Inside is a clay statue of a naked woman's body with an array of pins sticking out
The widow, eyes wide, loudly confronts her neighbor about Owen's secrets
Then the neighbor retells the day when Owen brought another woman to the house
that night, Owen came to the neighbor's door, crying and ashamed about his mistakes
After that, the neighbor never saw him repeat it
Then the widow asks why he never mentions it to her;
then the neighbor responds that Owen told him not to
Afterward, The widow returns to her house and investigates
She then finds a book, telling about confusing and weakening dark forces through mazes,
and reversed spaces with a picture of Louvre Doll
Its structure is similar to Owen's clay statue that stands beside the laptop
She frustratingly slaps it, but it still stands
Then she hears heavy footsteps emerge, and follows them into the storage room
There, a man's figure forms through the pillar in the middle of the room and the furniture;
but it moves when it faces her
Then she quickly calls for it to come back
She then travels to the bookstore; but the cashier serves no purpose
Then a familiar face catches her attention
She confronts the sales clerk, and realizes it's the woman on Owen's phone
She accuses her of sleeping with him even when it's not
Then the widow visits her friend to report everything she found out;
and strangely, she believes the sales clerk's words
Her friend advises her to have space from all that's happening
So she goes home to pack her things, and even says goodbye to the voice
But someone knocks on the door; and she finds the sales clerk
She invites her inside, and they talk about Owen
The sales clerk recalls that Owen invited her to his home for a drink
Then Owen excitedly brought her to the other house, toured the rooms,
and even asked her to hold a clay statue
After that, Owen grabbed her; and they sweetly kissed until Owen started squeezing her
When the sales clerk said no, he stopped and brought her home
then he apologized that it was his fault
The sales clerk noticed Owen's tiredness, and his word about ending it for good
The sales clerk concludes Owen felt guilty that he cheated
The sales clerk leaves;
and the widow travels to the unfinished house drunk in the middle of a rainy night
She goes inside to summon the voice;
but when it doesn't appear, she throws a fit, until her flashlight slips from her hand
But her foot slots in the floorboard when she retrieves it
She removes her foot, and discovers something unexpected
She forcibly opens the wood;
and underneath lies the corpse of women in her dreams wrapped in plastic
She runs immediately to her house and cries out
Then she contacts her friend, but no answer
Still, she apologizes for not listening
After the call, she showers; but the stereo opens again
She rushes outside, but the stereo turns off
She breaks down, kneeling, calling, and begging Owen to come back, because she misses him so much
After her pretentious image of bravery, she craves his presence
All her welled emotions flood out in the bellow
She composes herself, and sees 'here' written in the moist mirror
She wipes it off; and then a bloody footprint appears again
She touches the void, and surprisingly feels an invisible entity
She embraces it, and allows the invisible man to caress her body sensually
Then she calls for his name; then it says, "I'm not Owen"
The widow realizes what happened, and the bathroom door shuts in front of her
When she looks at the mirror, the face of another woman appears
Then she sees and watches Owen strangle the woman, and clashes her head on the mirror
She attempts to leave; but a force drags her towards the mirror, and smashes her head into it
Then she hazily wakes up to see she teleports to the reversed house
The mirror is the way for her to see the identical house
She walks out and finds everything in reverse
There are other women inside advising her to hide
She obeys, and witnesses her husband dragging a woman's body out of the bathroom
Then a man's figure appears again, watching Owen; then it faces her
The widow bolts out of the room;
but she sees Owen having an intimate moment with another woman in the reflection
The invisible figure follows the widow, until she faces it upfront
The invisible figure pushes her to the ground, and drags her across the hallway
Every time they pass through a window, it portrays visions of Owen killing other women
Then she grabs on a threshold, and sees Owen crying beside a bloodied corpse
But the invisible figure throws her out and falls downstairs
In the room, the widow sees Owen's doppelganger and herself sleeping on his legs
The doppelganger explains he's the one she felt when she died,
and calls himself Nothing; and ever since then, it follows her
He unfolds about infiltrating Owen's mind to kill her; but Owen wouldn't
Owen tricked Nothing by killing other identical women
The widow, who's sleeping on the doppelganger's lap, wakes up; and it turns out to be her dream
She tries to escape; but Nothing elevates her from the ground
The surroundings turn dark, and a red light shines on her
Then, Nothing manipulates the widow to imitate the clay statue's pose
The movie ends with the friend visiting the widow, but only to find the house is empty
She discovers Owen's gun is gone
Then she rushes outside the lake,
because the widow rides on the boat who's unfortunately, under the influence of Nothing
For the widow, she only sees Nothing in Owen's body, surrounded by darkness
Then Nothing hands Owen's gun, while feeding her lies about Nothing in life matters anymore
But right then, the widow hears her friend's call, with worry weighing every shout
She realizes some people still care about her
So she doesn't shoot herself
Just then, her friend swims to the boat and brings her to the dock
They embrace each other while catching their breath
In her embrace, the widow stares at a faded black figure on the boat
Then The neighbor asks what's there, and the widow says, "there's nothing there "
