May contain story progression spoilers
The desolate house, former dance-teacher mythology, hidden treasure, and supernatural intrusions give the film a grotesque fairy-tale atmosphere.
Lucy, William, and Ben enter Mrs Jessel's home to search for treasure, only to discover increasingly peculiar and terrifying spaces.
Mrs Jessel's coma, reputation as a dance teacher, and rumored treasure draw the protagonists into the house's concealed supernatural history.
Lucy begins as a trainee caregiver but is changed forever by the horrifying events surrounding Jessel and the house.
