Story
The family of eccentric artist Jesse moves to a new home. They are warned that the price of housing has been greatly reduced due to two recent deaths here, which, however, were not criminal in nature. Jesse and his wife are not scared away. In the new house, he acquires much-needed inspiration, close to obsession, and finally becomes close to signing the first serious contract. The appearance of a mysterious fat man who claims to be his parents' house is the first bell on the road to genuine horror.
