The Yellow Wallpaper is a 2011 direct-to-video Gothic thriller film directed by Logan Thomas.

[6] Charlotte, a writer, and her husband John, a doctor, retreat to a countryside house with Charlotte's well-educated sister, Jennie, in an attempt to start their lives over after a devastating fire claims the life of their daughter Sarah, along with all their money and possessions.

John endeavors to visit the town in search of employment, only to encounter an elderly couple who are lamenting about the rat infestation in the area.

At night, Charlotte begins to go to the attic to write as the interesting wallpaper[7] sparks ideas.

Charlotte begins to hear the voice of her daughter Sarah in the house, she runs inside to find her, and the doors shut John out.

John and Charlotte begin to make their house a home, becoming closer to each other and spending more time together.

Charlotte and Jennie find a body in the previously opened coffins and feral dogs surround them as they look inside, and they run into the house for safety.

He tells John that the diseased house will keep her spirit alive as long as he can bring her souls that she can feed upon.

Most of the scenes in The Yellow Wallpaper were shot in Eatonton, Georgia, in and around an isolated Civil War-era house.

'The stairs leading to the attic, where we filmed a lot of the scenes, were very narrow and it was very hot.

The cast also includes Juliet Landau as Charlotte and Aric Cushing as her husband John, Veronica Cartwright, Raymond J. Barry, and Dale Dickey.

[19] A companion book to the film was written, The Yellow Wallpaper and Other Gothic Stories,[20] by Aric Cushing.

The essay in the beginning of the book was written by Cushing entitled "Is the Yellow Wallpaper a Gothic Story?

While other reviews commented, "'Luckily, the cliches are kept to a minimum, and as it turns out it's actually a rather unique take on the material, deftly blending psychological terror into the mix in a manner not unlike The Shining.

Cushing commented in the introduction to his book Lost Essays, the film was both loved and loathed.

[28] The director Logan Thomas's comments on the film after the release were, "we never thought of it as a horror movie, more of a gothic mind bender"[29] and, commenting on his new feature film There's No Such Thing as Vampires, "I certainly didn't want to do another slow-burn movie that was a head puzzle like The Yellow Wallpaper".

Director Logan Thomas depends on his audience’s prior engagement with Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s short story “The Yellow Wallpaper” in his 2012 film of the same name.

While the film is a clear departure from Gilman’s text, acting as the origin story of the author’s experience in writing the story, Thomas’ reliance on the viewers’ familiarity with Gilman is necessary to his larger trans-genre project.

This palimpsest of genre expectation however becomes a perfect way for him to enhance audience fear when the film turns out to be a horror.
