Muirhouse is an Australian found-footage horror film directed by Tanzeal Rahim. The movie is based on the infamous Monte Cristo Homestead, which is said to be one of the most haunted houses in Australia. The film blends real-life ghost-hunting with horror storytelling to create a chilling atmosphere.

The story follows Phillip Muirhouse (played by Iain P.F. McDonald), an author and paranormal investigator who is writing a book about the haunted Monte Cristo Homestead. To gather material for his book, he decides to spend the night in the house to document any supernatural activity. Armed with cameras and recording equipment, Phillip sets out to capture evidence of the paranormal.

However, as the night progresses, strange and disturbing occurrences begin to happen inside the house. He soon realizes that the legends surrounding Monte Cristo are far more real and terrifying than he initially believed. The spirits that haunt the house become increasingly hostile, and Phillip’s investigation turns into a fight for survival.

Muirhouse uses the found-footage style to create a sense of realism and immediacy, heightening the tension and fear as Phillip’s situation deteriorates. The film is heavily reliant on atmosphere, jump scares, and the eerie setting of the real-life Monte Cristo Homestead.

Although Muirhouse is a low-budget production, it has been praised for its effective use of tension and suspense. Fans of ghost stories and found-footage horror, particularly those interested in haunted house narratives, may find this film intriguing.
