Synopsis
House of 9 (2005) is a psychological horror thriller you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Steven R. Monroe. Nine strangers — a priest, a dancer, a rapper, a cop, a tennis player and a handful of others — wake up inside a sealed house. Seventy-five cameras are watching. A voice on the PA explains the rules: last one standing walks out with five million dollars.
Dennis Hopper, Peter Capaldi, and Kelly Brook are among the nine, which gives the ensemble more weight than this kind of film usually gets. The early tension comes from the group refusing to play — the later tension comes from the moment they start to.
The setup borrows liberally from Cube and the Saw franchise, but the film is less interested in elaborate death traps than in how quickly a group of ordinary people runs out of reasons not to hurt each other. Lean and grim, with no wasted minutes. Stream House of 9 (2005) online on iFILM.
