It stars Rachel Marie Lewis and Christian Oliver as a married couple who, after a miscarriage caused by the husband physically assaulting his wife during her pregnancy, decide to start over again by moving to a large, rural house without electricity or phone service. It was shot in Floyd County, Virginia, and initially screened there in June 2013. == Plot == Maggie Conley has a miscarriage after an argument with her husband Chris turns physical. To save their marriage, they move to a large house in rural Virginia. There, they are met by real estate agent Rob Bradley, who explains that the house has been converted into a duplex. An quiet, elderly couple, the Andersons, rent the other half of the house. As constant storms have made public utilities prohibitively expensive, Bradley suggests that they use cell phones and a generator. After showing them the house, Bradley comes upon a locked door and offers to return in a week with the key. Later, Chris declines Maggie's offer to start the generator and insists on doing it himself. That night, Chris celebrates with mixed alcoholic drinks. Annoyed that he has resumed drinking, Maggie declines to join him in bed. Maggie has a nightmare about the locked room, and, after Chris drives into town for supplies, she forces her way into the room. There, she hears a loud ringing from an rotary-style telephone. She is frustrated when Chris reacts skeptically to her account. While they take a walk, he points out that the telephone lines are still down, and Maggie angrily accuses him of not supporting her. Tensions are further raised when Chris announces that he must leave the house for several days. A firefighter, Chris explains that early fires have started in the nearby forest. Because of the poor cell reception, Maggie is forced to travel to a clearing in order to use her cell phone. Maggie becomes increasingly agitated as she misses Chris' daily phone calls and continues to hear ringing from the Andersons' house. Maggies makes several unsuccessful attempts to meet the Andersons, only to meet Mr. Anderson one night after the generator stalls. Dressed in a nightgown and feeling vulnerable, she does not answer his double entendres as he restarts it for her. After she overhears Mrs. Anderson talking on the phone, she breaks into the Andersons' house; after she apologizes, the two chat. Mrs. Anderson says that her husband is also a firefighter, though it is only a desk job due to his age and the lack of any recent fires. Already uncomfortable due to the previous revelation, Maggie leaves when her life and Mrs. Anderson's turn out to increasingly mirror each other. Later, as the two take a walk together, Mrs. Anderson reveals that her husband beats her. When Chris finally returns, Maggie confronts him in a rage, and he knocks her unconscious. Maggie accuses Chris of domestic violence, but he says that she was hysterical. At dinner, she and Chris get into another argument, and Maggie leaves the table as he shouts at her to sit back down. Quoting Mrs. Anderson, Maggie calls Chris a violent monster and grabs an axe. Seeing this unfold outside, Mr. Anderson belittles Chris's manhood and offers to kill Maggie. Offended, Chris attacks Anderson, but Anderson fatally stabs him. Maggie kills Mr. Anderson with the axe and reconciles with the dying Chris. She then goes into the house, calling for Mrs. Anderson, whose apparition she saw through the window from outside. It is implied from her scream that she finds Mrs. Anderson's body. The old lady had already been killed by her husband, as she had predicted. When Bradley returns, he finds the formerly locked room has been turned into a shrine to Maggie's lost baby, and Maggie is cuddling with Chris' decomposing corpse. Later, the police explain that Maggie apparently went insane with grief after Chris choked on his own vomit a week ago. The Andersons then pull up in their car and reveal that they have only just arrived back from a vacation; Maggie imagined their presence. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of Good and Evil」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
