House on Haunted Hill

HorrorMysteryThriller93 min

A group of strangers arrives at an abandoned insane asylum for a bizarre birthday party, only to learn the invitation comes with a challenge: stay inside until morning and collect $1 million. The host, an amusement-park mogul played by Geoffrey Rush, treats the night like a cruel game, but the house has its own plans. Locked doors, violent visions, and the asylum’s brutal history turn the contest into a fight to understand what is hunting them. As panic spreads and trust breaks down, the guests have to decide whether the terror is staged, imagined, or something far worse moving through the building.
