Short Summary

Hi, I’m Erin, an artist and filmmaker passionate about telling raw, unsettling, and visually striking stories. Doll House is an experimental psychological horror that explores the dark side of social conformity—the pressure to pretend everything is fine, even when it’s all falling apart.

This film is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped in a friend group that wasn’t right for them but kept up appearances to avoid conflict. Through eerie, slow-moving cinematography and a hauntingly perfect aesthetic, Doll House will make you question: What happens when the cracks become too big to ignore?

With your support, we can bring this chilling vision to life and make an impact by telling a story that many will resonate with—but few have dared to say out loud.
