Cubbyhouse
A mom of three buys a cheap, old house. However, the backyard cubby-house is cursed with pure evil that took the previous owner's two kids and her kids are next.
Why it matters
A claustrophobic Aussie haunted house tale that trades jump scares for creeping dread—and a relentless sense that childhood innocence has turned sinister.
- Practical effects and a creepy, claustrophobic backyard set make the evil cubbyhouse feel palpably menacing.
- Rooted in suburban horror, it taps into that universal fear of what lurks just beyond the safe family home.
- Strong performances ground the supernatural in emotional reality, especially from the mother caught between protection and helplessness.
- For fans of slow-building, atmospheric hauntings rather than gore or shock—this one’s a simmering nightmare in miniature.
