Burnt Offerings (1976)

Poster for Burnt Offerings

Up the ancient stairs, behind the locked door, something lives, something evil, from which no one has ever returned.

A couple and their 12-year-old son move into a giant house for the summer. Things start acting strange almost immediately. It seems that every time someone gets hurt on the grounds, the beat-up house seems to repair itself.
