In the tense and claustrophobic horror of House Rules, a simple night of babysitting descends into a terrifying game of survival. A young woman, portrayed by Tessa Stokes, arrives at a remote home to watch a child, only to discover the parents have left behind a disturbing and cryptic list of instructions. Alongside Gabe Spencer and Tristan J Shuler, she finds herself trapped in a labyrinth of unnerving directives, where every creak of the floorboard and flicker of a shadow suggests something sinister is watching. As the rules become increasingly bizarre and menacing, the sitter must navigate a psychological gauntlet, questioning what is real and what is a malevolent trick. Directed by Geri Courtney-Austein, this chilling short film masterfully builds an atmosphere of dread, exploring the primal fear of being a stranger in a place where the walls themselves seem to whisper threats. The characters are forced to confront a hidden evil that operates on a logic all its own, where breaking a single rule could have fatal consequences.
