‘The House Was Not Hungry Then’ Trailer – A Haunted House Movie from the House’s Perspective [Exclusive]

By Alex DiVincenzo | Bloody Disgusting

After Good Boy and Presence told haunted house tales from unique perspectives — a dog and a ghost, respectively — we’re getting a haunted house movie from the house’s point of view.

Watch our exclusive trailer for The House Was Not Hungry Then below. The Scottish horror film hits Digital this Friday, February 13, via Chroma.

It revolves around an abandoned house in the Scottish countryside that holds a terrible secret. Day after day, a man posing as a real estate agent lures visitors inside, and one by one they disappear.

One night a young woman searching for her estranged father takes refuge inside, but soon begins to feel she’s not alone.

As she gets closer to learning the truth about her father, she explores the dark interior and eavesdrops on the disturbing relationship between the house and its caretaker, learning that sometimes the monster is not who we expect.

Writer-director Harry Aspinwall makes his feature debut on the film, which stars Bobby Rainsbury (Filth), Clive Russell (“Game of Thrones”), and Bill Paterson (The Witches).

“Horror films are usually frantic, filled with breathless subjectivity. I wanted to do something different,” said Aspinwall. “I love the dry comedies of Ruben Ostlund and Roy Anderson, and the tongue-in-cheek morbidity of Edward Gorey.”
