Why did you let those people into your house Eve?!?!?

Eve and Charlie bought an old house that they are renovating. And one day strangers knock on their door asking to be let in, and Eve who is afraid to say no, says yes. Noooooo! Eve, noooooo!

So Charlie is out and we have a family going through the house and a kid hiding, and well when you let them in they will never leave again.

This nightmare slowly grew and grew, and something is in that old house. Eve is starting to loose control and I had no idea what was going on.

I really enjoyed this one, it came to a point where I had to know! And let´s just say, that house is damn creepy.

As a young, queer couple who flip houses, Charlie and Eve can’t believe the killer deal they’ve just gotten on an old house in a picturesque neighborhood. As they’re working in the house one day, there’s a knock on the door. A man stands there with his family, claiming to have lived there years before and asking if it would be alright if he showed his kids around. People pleaser to a fault, Eve lets them in.

As soon as the strangers enter their home, inexplicable things start happening, including the family’s youngest child going missing and a ghostly presence materializing in the basement. Even more weird, the family can’t seem to take the hint that their visit should be over. And when Charlie suddenly vanishes, Eve slowly loses her grip on reality. Something is terribly wrong with the house and with the visiting family—or is Eve just imagining things?
