House of Good and Evil

House of Good and Evil is a 2013 American psychological thriller film directed by David Mun and written by Blu de Golyer.

It stars Rachel Marie Lewis and Christian Oliver as a married couple who, after a miscarriage caused by the husband physically assaulting his wife during her pregnancy, decide to start over again by moving to a large, rural house without electricity or phone service.

As constant storms have made public utilities prohibitively expensive, Bradley suggests that they use cell phones and a generator.

Maggie becomes increasingly agitated as she misses Chris' daily phone calls and continues to hear ringing from the Andersons' house.

Already uncomfortable due to the previous revelation, Maggie leaves when her life and Mrs. Anderson's increasingly continue to mirror each other.

Later, the police explain that Maggie apparently went insane with grief after Chris choked on his own vomit the same night they arrived.

Blu de Golyer praised Floyd County for its community spirit and said that, due to its low budget, the film could not have been made in Los Angeles.

[5] Star Rachel Marie Lewis contacted de Golyer directly after she saw the script breakdown.

[6] Patrick Cooper of Bloody Disgusting rated it 3/5 stars and recommended it to fans of slow-burn psychological thrillers, though he said that it was overlong.

"[10] Tristan Bishop of Brutal as Hell called it dull, overlong, listlessly plotted and "almost entirely devoid of anything remotely exciting until the last ten minutes or so".

[11] Derek Anderson of Daily Dead rated it 3.5/5 stars and wrote that it is "worth checking out if you like psychological horror, haunted house thrillers, and even romantic dramas with a supernatural slant".

[12] Mark L. Miller of Ain't It Cool News called it "deeper and more complex than most haunted abode flicks".
