House on Eden

The trio’s curiosity leads them off‑road to the abandoned house that locals call the House on Eden. When they finally reach the dark, eerily tidy dwelling, they set up dozens of cameras, hoping to catch something supernatural. An early stumble down the stairs convinces Kris that a presence is already watching, but she pushes the group to keep filming and decides they will return after a night in their van.

In the morning, the atmosphere has grown oppressive. Celina, half‑asleep, begins a strange chant by a window, and Kris awakens her with a jolt. The house seems to be feeding off their fear, and Jay, fed up with Kris’s relentless drive, tries to leave. While he is on the porch, his phone rings and his camera catches a sudden, invisible force pulling him into the woods; the footage ends with a silent scream, implying his death.

Back inside, Kris and Celina continue their makeshift séance, using various devices that all point to a lingering spirit. Their research reveals that the entity is Lilith, the mythic first wife of Adam who, according to legend, was cast out and now haunts the place. The spirit possesses Celina for a brief, violent moment—her eyes roll back, she tears at her own skin, and she drags Kris into a blood‑filled bathtub. Kris barely escapes, stumbling into a hidden basement where she confronts a naked elderly woman. The old woman slits her throat, letting her blood coat Kris’s swollen belly, then collapses. In that ritualistic act, Lilith transfers fully into Kris, turning her into the vessel for the ancient witch.

The final scene jumps to a clearing outside the house where a large fire burns. A circle of women, cloaked in cult‑like garb, gathers around the pyre. Kris, now with Lilith’s cold stare, steps forward. The bodies of Jay and Celina have been dragged to the flames and are being consumed, their blood already smeared on Kris’s skin. The cult women—perhaps the same ones hinted at in the department store—prepare Kris for a sacrificial rite, suggesting that Lilith seeks pregnant hosts to experience motherhood through them. The film ends with Kris, fully possessed, joining the chant of the cult as the fire crackles, leaving the audience with the impression that the house’s “cleanliness” was a facade for generations of hidden rituals.
