Housebound
Directed by Gerard Johnstone
Kylie Bucknell is forced to return to the house she grew up in when the court places her on home detention. Her punishment is made all the more unbearable by the fact she has to live there with her mother Miriam - a well-intentioned blabbermouth who's convinced that the house is haunted. Kylie dismisses Miriam's superstitions as nothing more than a distraction from a life occupied by boiled vegetables & small-town gossip. However, when she too becomes privy to unsettling whispers & strange bumps in the night, she begins to wonder whether she's inherited her overactive imagination, or if the house is in fact possessed by a hostile spirit who's not particularly thrilled about her return.
Placed in home detention, Kylie Bucknel is convinced her mother's home is haunted.
Cast: Morgana O'Reilly, Rima Te Wiata, Glem-Paul Waru

Fun movie
Pretty good movie. It would have been a lot better if it was about 30 minutes shorter. Not really scary, but a good mystery movie. Try it out and see what you think. On to the next.
honestly, not bad. Took forever to get to the point and had a lot of side quests with interesting characters. I watched this on low, in the dark when i had a migraine and it wasn’t terrible. Not exactly what i’d call a horror movie though, more drama/thriller. It probably would have been better as a series than a movie.
Fun indeed. Plot needed tightening up though, should have been under 90 minutes, took off a skull for that.
