After numerous scrapes with the law, Kylie (Morgana O'Reilly) is put under house arrest in her mum's (Rima Te Wiata) home, equipped with an ankle monitor so she can't leave the premises without security officer Amos (Glen-Paul Waru) knowing, and he's also equipped to track her down. Now Kylie doesn't get along with her mother, never found common ground with her mother's boyfriend Graeme (Ross Harper), and is pretty much left with nothing to do for the next 7 months apart from fruitless therapy sessions every other day with her therapist Dennis (Cameron Rhodes), she starts listening to the noises of the house ... and pretty soon becomes convinced the place is haunted. Interestingly, the only one who believes her is Amos, and he equips the place with all kind of hi-tech ghostcatcher equipment. He and Kylie catch no ghosts though ... but Kylie out that before her family has moved in, the place was a halfway house in which a string of murders have happened ... and she finds a clue to the murderer, whom she first believes to be the creepy neighbour with a predilection for skinning rodents, then the neighbour's agoraphobic secret son who's living in the secret basement that's connected to Kylie's house where he walks inside the walls. As creepy as he is though, the guy proves friendly and very fond of Kylie. But during all of this, Kylie accidently stabs Graeme (he survives though), leaves the house several times and it's only thanks to Amos that she doesn't get into deep shit, and ultimately, she has to realize that the man she was supposed to trust the most has actually killed all the girls years back - and now he will stop at nothing to keep this secret ...

Housebound is an extremely nice little thriller that really succeeds in taking in its audience via imaginative storytelling more than anything else, and it effortlessly manages to turn what starts out as your typical ghost story over into a tight slasher movie in the course of the proceedings without ever missing a beat. And even the film is at times extremely creepy, it also doesn't fail to equip the story with a healthy amount of humour. And add to that a great ensemble cast, and you've got yourself a pretty good movie.
