Searchlight Pictures has released a brand new clip from David Bruckner’s forthcoming psychological horror film The Night House starring Rebecca Hall. The film is currently slated to arrive in theaters this Friday, August 20.
The video begins with Hall’s Beth as she gets woken up by the sound of music playing downstairs, even though she’s the only one inside the house. Things get more disturbing when she receives a surprising text from her dead husband telling her not to be afraid.

The Night House is directed by David Bruckner (The Signal, The Ritual) from a script written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski. It stars Rebecca Hall (Godzilla vs. Kong) as Beth, Sarah Goldberg (Barry) as Claire, Stacy Martin (Vox Lux) as Madelyne, Evan Jonigkeit (The Empty Man) as Owen, and Vondie Curtis-Hall (Marvel’s Daredevil) as Mel.
“Reeling from the unexpected death of her husband, Beth is left alone in the lakeside home he built for her, trying her best to keep herself together—but then the dreams come,” reads the official synopsis. “Disturbing visions of a presence in the house call to her, beckoning with a ghostly allure, but the harsh light of day washes away any proof of a haunting. Against the advice of her friends, she begins digging into his belongings, yearning for answers, only to find secrets both strange and terrible and a mystery she’s determined to resolve.”
