Deep and vibrating, like throat singing. Ancient, husky, and rasping, but underwater. \"That's just the house settling,\" the real estate agent assures them with a smile. He is wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe move--prompted by James's penchant for gambling and his general inability to keep his impulses in check--is quick and seamless; both Julie and James are happy to start afresh. But this house, which sits between a lake and a forest, has its own plans for the unsuspecting couple. As Julie and James try to establish a sense of normalcy, the home and its surrounding terrain become the locus of increasingly strange happenings. The framework-- claustrophobic, riddled with hidden rooms within rooms--becomes unrecognizable, decaying before their eyes. Stains are animated on the wall--contracting, expanding--and map themselves onto Julie's body in the form of painful, grisly bruises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLike the house that torments the troubled married couple living within its walls, \u003ci\u003eThe Grip of It \u003c\/i\u003eoozes with palpable terror and skin-prickling dread.
