Housebound (2014)

Synopsis Housebound (2014) 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 less than happy about the new living arrangement. ??Luke Gerantson Awards: 5 wins & 22 nominations Budget: NZ$350,000 (estimated) Worldwide Gross: $241,347 Soundtrack: Angel (Written by Alastair Riddell (as A Riddell))
