House of Abraham Trailer Teases Grief, Cults, and a Fatal Choice

Natasha Henstridge invites you to a retreat you may never leave in House of Abraham.

If you’ve been tracking the unsettling new wave of indie psychological thrillers, House of Abraham should already be pinging your radar. Directed with eerie precision and anchored by Natasha Henstridge, the official trailer finally dropped this week—and while it’s undeniably compelling, we’ve got mixed feelings. Not because it doesn’t look good (it does), but because wow, did they show a lot. Here’s hoping that “one twist no one can foresee” is still tucked deep inside its labyrinthine walls.

From our early reporting on the project, House of Abraham has always felt like a film built on high-concept dread. It centers on Dee (Natasha Henstridge), a woman still haunted by discovering her mother’s lifeless body as a child. Looking for closure—or possibly surrender—she checks into a remote estate hosted by the enigmatic Abraham(Lukas Hassel). Alongside six others, she’s told that they’re all there for the same reason: to end their lives, safely and lovingly, under Abraham’s calm, clinical supervision.

The setup? Each guest is free to leave if they change their mind. Abraham even says so himself. But when one guest, Victor, announces his departure only to vanish without a trace—his belongings left behind—Dee realizes this place isn’t about peace or control. It’s about manipulation, submission, and perhaps something more sinister than death itself.

What unfolds looks to be a tense unraveling of cultish influence and psychological horror. Henstridge is clearly in her element here, dishing out unnerving charisma as the house’s orchestrator of endings. And while the trailer gives us plenty of bleak beauty and character dread, it may also have tipped its hand too much. We’ve seen trailers like this before—The Invitation, The Lodge—where the big secrets are best left veiled. Here’s hoping there’s more than just what was teased.

Still, House of Abraham feels like one of the more fascinating genre entries of 2025. It’s got grief, cult dynamics, mental health introspection, and an isolated setting primed for confrontation. The idea of ritualized assisted death as a narrative backdrop? Creepy as hell—and exactly what horror needs right now.

With House of Abraham, it’s not just about whether Dee can survive. It’s about what survival even means in a place where letting go is the only promise offered.

Keep it locked to HMU—we’ll be watching this one all the way to the bell.

House of Abraham arrives later this year.
