GirlHouse

GirlHouse, a psychological horror film directed by Nathan Ives, revolves around Kylie, a college student struggling to make ends meet. In an attempt to supplement her income, Kylie is enticed by the opportunity to rent out a house that streams live content to an X-rated website. She sees this as a way to earn money with minimal effort and decides to give it a try. The house in question is a luxurious mansion, equipped with high-tech gadgets and surveillance cameras. The company that owns the house, Housemates Entertainment, has created a unique concept where models and performers live in the house and engage in various activities, which are then streamed online to subscribers. Kylie is one of the performers, tasked with entertaining the online audience with her beauty, charm, and whatever else she deems fit. As Kylie settles into her new home, she begins to realize that her job is more demanding than she initially anticipated. The company's expectations are high, and the pressure to perform is relentless. She is required to wear a tiny camera on her person at all times, which broadcasts her every move to the online audience. Kylie's sense of unease grows as she starts to feel trapped and objectified by the company's demands. Kylie's concerns are further exacerbated when she begins to notice strange occurrences in the house. Equipment malfunctions, and strange noises are heard in the dead of night. She starts to suspect that someone may have hacked into the house's system, gaining access to her personal life and the location of the property. One night, Kylie discovers a disturbing piece of footage that has been uploaded to the website in her name. She realizes that someone has indeed hacked into the system and is now able to see her every move. The hacker sends Kylie a threatening message, warning her to continue performing as instructed, or else. The message is laced with a menacing tone, and Kylie starts to feel a sense of dread creeping over her. As the days go by, Kylie becomes increasingly paranoid and isolated. She is hesitant to leave the house, fearing that the hacker may be watching her every move. The online audience continues to demand more explicit content, and Kylie feels like she is losing control of her own life. As tensions escalate, Kylie's friends and family begin to worry about her well-being. They are concerned that she is becoming too consumed by the job and that her mental health is deteriorating. Kylie tries to open up to her loved ones about her experiences, but they are skeptical and unsupportive. One evening, Kylie receives a chilling message from the hacker, stating that they are on their way to the house. Kylie's world is turned upside down as she realizes that the hacker's intentions are far more sinister than she initially thought. She frantically tries to contact Housemates Entertainment, but they seem unconcerned about the situation. With time running out, Kylie is forced to fend for herself against the deranged hacker. She uses her wits and whatever resources she can find to try and outsmart her tormentor. As the situation reaches a boiling point, Kylie's determination to survive and take back control of her life becomes clear. GirlHouse is a gripping and intense thriller that explores themes of objectification, exploitation, and the darker side of the internet.
