A Room to Die For

Vas Blackwood

In London, aspiring stand-up performer Mark is financially supported by his girlfriend Jill, who works in a call center. They find a room that they can afford to rent in the isolated house of an old couple, Henry and Josephine Baker. Mark stays in the room expecting to write gags while Jill works, but he is disturbed by Henry or the noise of the Bakers' baby. Soon there is friction between Mark and Henry, but Jill convinces her boyfriend to stay in the place. One day, Mark snoops around in the house and discovers a creepy secret about Henry and Josephine with tragic consequences.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
