Home Is Where I Lay

Home Is Where I Lay perfectly captures the cabin fever aspect of the unfamiliar settings. Similar to The Shining, the film uses its setting to not only be atmospheric but also address some heavier topics. As someone who has been hurt by the church and someone still active in the church, my viewing of Home feels like a really unique place. The authority element that the film addresses within the church is heartbreakingly accurate. Annabella Rich brilliantly serves as the archetype for the mental health of those of us who have been hurt. I don't know if it's just my viewing and past experience but this film feels extremely personal. In its that vulnerability that the horror thrives.
