Breaking Glass Pictures continues its steady run of indie genre releases with the arrival of The House on Hill Street, a new thriller/horror film written, directed, and produced by filmmaker Omar Rogers, now streaming.
Built as a tense, atmospheric slow burn, The House on Hill Street opens with a seemingly harmless moment of compassion that quickly curdles into something far more unsettling. When Gwen answers a stranger’s plea for help, she vanishes without a trace. Soon after, her home welcomes new occupants, but whispers and disturbing signs suggest that whatever happened to Gwen may not be finished — and that the house itself may be holding onto something dark.
Rather than relying on excess runtime or shock-heavy spectacle, the film keeps its focus tight across a lean 61 minutes, using restraint and creeping unease to its advantage. Rogers leans into psychological tension and subtle supernatural undertones, crafting a story about trust, consequence, and the dangers that can hide behind familiar doors.
The cast includes Naomi Williams as Iris, Neidra Bartley as Janiyah, Eric Hardyway as Khalil, and Malcolm Montgomery as De’Andre, each grounding the film’s escalating paranoia with grounded performances that let the unease simmer rather than explode all at once.
“When trying to fix someone else’s problem becomes yours,” Rogers said, summing up the core idea driving the film’s haunting premise.
Rogers also spoke highly of his collaboration with Breaking Glass Pictures, noting the distributor’s filmmaker-friendly approach. “I chose to work with Breaking Glass because they do good business and make you feel like you’re part of the family,” he said.
For fans of compact, mood-driven horror that prioritizes atmosphere over excess, The House on Hill Street offers a quietly unnerving experience — one that lingers well after the final frame fades to black.
