Servants Quarters
2015, 100 minutes
The female half of a City power couple moves into a haunted stately home in the English countryside.
High-flying City lawyer, Amy Mustafi moves into stately Winterstoke House in the English countryside following a breakdown in the work place, caused by the bipolar disorder she has battled all her life. Amy is charged with setting up the new family home while her husband Shayan ties up a business deal abroad. A Romanian housekeeper and her young brother are engaged to help Amy run the house and estate. However, Amy soon finds a sealed off entrance to the former servants’ quarters of the estate. Upon opening the long-forgotten door, a string of seemingly supernatural incidents begin to occur and Amy soon discovers the mansion has guarded a mystery for over a century. In 1914, three servants died mysteriously and the estate was swiftly abandoned by former owner and British emissary to the Far East, Lord Alfred Bordville, who fled never to return. It is not long before Amy begins to obsess over solving the mystery, whilst unknowingly stoking her simmering mania. Is there something else at Winterstoke House with Amy? Or is it all a phantasm borne out of Amy's mental instability.
