The Farmhouse (1998)
101 min
When a sudden storm traps a college student from California in the Miller's farmhouse basement, in the dead geographic center of America, with Irma, her husband Dallas and their brooding 30-year-old son Billy, their dark secrets are revealed. This taut, well-crafted drama is a star turn for Blythe Danner, leading us on an intriguing path of family dysfunction and hidden tragedies. The Millers are trying to come to terms with the mysterious disappearance of their only daughter. Irma's delusions about the tragedy are further complicated by the arrival of the suspicious California coed.
