The Man in My Basement Premiere Interviews
Plot:
In Sag Harbour, New York, Charles Blakey (Corey Hawkins) is out of work, out of luck, and on the verge of losing his ancestral home. A knock on the door from mysterious businessman Anniston Bennet (Willem Dafoe) brings a strange proposition: rent out his basement for the summer in exchange for enough money to clear his debts. Once Charles agrees, he’s pulled into a terrifying psychological game that confronts family ghosts, race, trauma, and the very roots of evil. Adapted from Walter Mosley’s acclaimed novel.
