A father, who lacked presence during the crucial years of development of his son, tries to bond with him while renovating an old mansion. Over time, it turns out that there is some presence in the house - the more father and son work on the house the more remarkable the presence becomes.
The movie is not what you expect from a horror movie with that promising title. In fact, it starts off as family movie, develops into a relationship movie and ends up as suspense movie without gore, blood or violence. Yet, there is a mind-gripping sub story that easily could be misinterpret as a metaphor for the father's live (guilt - refrain - agitation). It is way more. It's certainly not the type of movie you would watch for light entertainment, it is the sheer existentialism of horror movies, almost comparable in its density and structure to It Follows or The Pact.
