House of Dust

In 1951, at the Redding House Asylum, a psychiatrist Stephen Spinella conducts experiments after having killed Billy Brown. He targets simple-minded Melvin Veman and sociopath Levius Laitura; with Levius still alive, the orderlies place all three bodies inside the crematorium to burn.

Fifty years later, Camden College student Dylan [Eddie Hassell] tells his girlfriend Gabby [Holland Roden] and his roommate Kolt [Steven Grayhm] about the abandoned asylum’s haunted history. New student Emma [Inbar Lavi] moves in as Gabby’s roommate, and Kolt takes a liking to her, while Allyson [Alesandra Assante], Christine and Blythe keep their distance.

They break into Redding House after a party to explore, despite a warning from campus security guard Clyde. Emma experiences strange experiences while exploring alone. The others knock over a container of cremated ashes and inhale the dust of the three men burned there in 1951.

Back in the dorm, Emma, a recovering psychiatric patient herself, begins experiencing haunting visions. The others’ behavior changes as Billy possesses Dylan, Melvin inhabits Gabby, and Levius takes control of Kolt.

Allyson is killed by an unseen assailant while doing laundry. Christine is later killed while taking her dog outside. Suspecting the disappearances and the odd behaviors are related to the asylum, Emma tries to go back, but Clyde prevents her.

With Levius in full control of Kolt, he attacks Emma. Emma eventually flees into the asylum and confirms her suspicions when she examines patient records and finds the empty urn knocked over by the others. Emma then finds the dead bodies of Allyson, Christine and Blythe.

Kolt captures Emma, but Dylan knocks him unconscious and also knocks Emma out as well and locks both Kolt and Gabby in the crematorium. Emma recovers and frees Kolt and Gabby from the fire, which releases everyone from their possessions. Dylan coughs up Billy’s spirit as well. The four students escape Redding House with Clyde’s assistance. The crematorium dust goes through the chimney and into the air, ultimately possessing a little boy playing in the park with the other children nearby.
