The Haunted

The Haunted (2018), directed by David Holroyd, is a British horror film you can watch online on iFILM. Night carer Emily arrives at a large, isolated house for her first overnight shift. Her patient is elderly and non-verbal. The house is older and darker than she expected.

By the middle of the night, something is moving through the rooms. The patient's daughter died recently, under circumstances the house seems unwilling to forget. Sophie Stevens holds the film together in near-solitary confinement — her Emily keeps her composure far longer than most would, which is either professionalism or denial, and the film knows that ambiguity is the scariest thing it has. No elaborate effects, no big set pieces. Just a nurse, a dark house, and something that doesn't want her to leave. Stream The Haunted online on iFILM.
