Something supernatural lurks within this rental’s walls.

Dark Sky Films releases THE UNSETTLING to select theaters and VOD/digital platforms February 10. Written and directed by Harry Owens, it stars Zephani Idoko, Bambadjan Bamba, Libby Munro, Benedikt Sebastian, Chloë Caro and Rojawn Khoshnam. The synopsis: “Abena [Idoko] and Kwame [Bamba], a Ghanaian couple, are struggling to recover from a devastating tragedy. They travel to Los Angeles for a vacation that they hope will help them find their way back to one another. Instead, during an awkward dinner with estranged friends, Vivian [Munro] and Anthony [Sebastian], Abena is increasingly terrorized by an evil possessing the house. The house that was meant to provide refuge slowly stalks her, consuming her sorrow and trapping her in a nightmare. As her terror grows, it ultimately engulfs all four with horrifying consequences.”
