Housebound is a 2013 New Zealand comedy horror film that was written and directed by Gerard Johnstone, and his feature
film directorial debut. The film had its world premiere on March 10, 2014 at South by Southwest and stars Morgana
O'Reilly as a woman sentenced to house arrest in a potentially haunted house.
Kylie (Morgana O'Reilly) is a would-be thief that is sentenced to nine months of house arrest after she's caught trying
to rob a bank. She's forced to move back in with her well-meaning mother Miriam (Rima Te Wiata), much to Kylie's disdain,
as Kylie thinks little of her mother's claims that the house is haunted. She's later horrified when strange things seem
to happen around the house, prompting Kylie to begin to believe that her mother may just be right. Her attempts to try to
tell people that they may have a malevolent spirit in the house is met with surprising cheer, as they seem to think that
having a ghost around would be a good thing
