The Beldham

The Beldham is a psychological horror-thriller that follows Harper, a fiercely independent woman whose life is temporarily put on hold by a high-risk pregnancy. She reluctantly moves back into her family’s sprawling, historic, but rapidly decaying estate to care for her estranged, fiercely stubborn mother, Sadie, who is battling the early stages of dementia. As Harper tries to navigate the complex emotional minefield of her relationship with her mother, she begins to experience unsettling occurrences within the creaking walls of the old house.

The tension escalates when Harper realizes that the strange phenomena are not merely figments of her stressed imagination or her mother’s declining mental state. A malevolent, ancient entity known as the Beldham resides within the home, feeding on the vulnerability of its inhabitants. This sinister force sets its sights on Harper’s unborn child, forcing her into a desperate, terrifying battle to protect her baby while unraveling dark family secrets that have kept her mother bound to the estate for decades.

Directed by Angela Gulner, the film stars Katie Parker as Harper and Emmy-winner Patricia Heaton as Sadie, delivering powerhouse performances that anchor the supernatural dread in deeply felt familial trauma. With its claustrophobic atmosphere, sharp psychological tension, and a chilling exploration of motherhood and aging, The Beldham offers a fresh, terrifying take on the haunted house subgenre.
