Where Sleeping Dogs Lie (Ws)

Bruce Simmons (McDermott) is a writer who earns his living working as a real estate agent. However, the real estate business has slowed, forcing his boss to give him one last chance to keep his job - Simmons must sell one luxurious house nobody wants because of an unsolved murder of the previous owner and his family. Though his literary agent (Stone) is concerned, Simmons uses this opportunity to move into the house and starts writing his next book while waiting for buyers that may never come. In the meantime, he tries to put food on the table by taking in borders

His first customer is Eddie Hale (Sizemore), an unusual character that might be connected with the house's tragic past. Soon Simmons' imagination begins to run wild, confusing the fantasy of the murder -- of re-enacting the murder in writing -- with reality. He is soon unable to discern the two worlds, as the two turn into psychosis and terror.
