Symbolic Glass House | |
| The Night House / int_14ec1fb | comment |
Symbolic Glass House: The house that gives the film its title is a huge, all-windows lakeside property where the protagonist Beth collapses after her husband mysteriously committed suicide there. And also where he murdered numerous women. And there's the other house, which looks exactly the same (but is not complete yet). | |

The Pursuing Nightmare | |
| The Night House / int_1c2f85c0 | comment |
The Pursuing Nightmare: Beth finds creeper shots taken by her husband, Owen, of a woman who looks just like her. She tracks the woman, Madelyne down, and it's revealed that Owen was ostensibly thinking about an affair. Only he wasn't - he was tracking the women to bring them to the house and kill them. Beth freaks out Madelyne, but she eventually tells Beth a story that, the night before, she dreamed of Beth (who was her) and someone was chasing them. | |

Mistaken for Cheating: Both Beth and Mel draw the understandable conclusion that Owen was cheating on her. The truth is a lot worse. | |

Twisted Christmas: One vignette shows Owen cradling Beth beside a Christmas tree when he moves to strangle her. He then stops and appears to decide to kill other women to make the urge go away. | |

Balancing Death's Books | |
| The Night House / int_7e851477 | comment |
Balancing Death's Books: What the Nothing wanted. After Beth was declared technically dead in a car accident, the Nothing stalked her and tried to spur Owen into killing her. He loved her too much to do it and tried to trick The Nothing into thinking the books were balanced by killing other women who looked like her. | |

Demonic Possession: Owen was possessed by "The Nothing" and killed women to keep it at bay by tricking him into thinking he finally got Beth. When he was getting too powerful, Owen took his own life to keep it away. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| The Night House / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: While there is definitely a demon out stalking Beth and Owen in the past, a lot of the movie is left open to interpretation, such as whether Owen was really there on the lake when Beth saw him. | |
