The premise

Walker Kennedy and his wife Col are a happy, voluntarily childless suburban couple. Then the thing they fear the most happens: part of their green surrounding is turned into a building site, for what turns out to be the widely acclaimed first house built by attractive, brilliant, obsessively devoted architect Kim (30), who has a short affair with Col. Kim is even enchanted by his own house, just like everyone else. However each subsequent couple that moves into the house soon turns nasty, never staying for long, ending in tears and/or blood. When Kim finally buys it with his wife, Col who believes he somehow curses all his buildings insists it's time to deal with him, permanently.

Horror Vault's take

When a celebrated young architect constructs a stunning new home next door, Walker and Col Kennedy find their quiet suburban life slowly poisoned by its presence. Every couple who moves in seems destined for misery, violence, or worse — and the house has an uncanny hold on everyone who enters it. As Col becomes convinced that the architect himself is the source of a creeping evil, the Kennedys must decide how far they're willing to go to protect themselves. This made-for-TV chiller wraps its supernatural dread in a polished suburban veneer that makes it all the more unsettling.
