Synopsis
Spoiler shield
Based on the 1892 short story of the same name by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. Eleanor struggles with post-partum depression, however, when Eleanor's over-protective husband refuses to recognize her illness, he confines her to a room. Slowly, Eleanor loses sight of her sanity, and the patterns in the yellow wallpaper come to life.
“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
