Can a house kill—not in the boring haunted way? Maybe. If it conveys meaning of strong contextual mis-placing and mis-timing, a trap end of the road.
An ordinary, a little bit outdated, but sill good country house for seasonal living with a recipe for floating space and a Queen who cannot run back to appreciating warm artistic layers, she even drinks from basic IKEA brown cups. At the end Queen dies on a still frame, as if to be memorized, as if she is a real person and the movie is a documentary - poetic as she is, Queen of earth, Queen of salt.

Queen of Earth (2015), Alex Ross Perry. Production design: Anna Bak-Kvapil
