As Clare attempts to reckon with her motherâÇÖs traumatic death when she was a child and her fatherâÇÖs recent passing, the House draws her further and further into a web of illusion and realization, through phone calls, hallucinations, and a constant repetition repetition repetition of pain and horror.
