Horror Vault's take

A woman devoted to her reclusive poet husband finds their carefully restored home upended when mysterious strangers begin arriving uninvited, each intrusion more disturbing than the last. What begins as social unease curdles into something far more primal and overwhelming, as the walls — literal and figurative — close in around her. Darren Aronofsky's audacious allegory operates on multiple registers at once, demanding total submission from its audience and offering no easy footholds. Jennifer Lawrence anchors an increasingly nightmarish descent that few mainstream films have dared attempt.
