The Owners

Nathan (Kenny), Terry (Ellis) and Gaz (Curran) are a gang of violent, hardened thieves who believe they have found their next victims in the simple-looking Dr. Huggins (McCoy) and his mentally ill wife, Ellen (Tushingham). Other than the unexpected addition of Nathan's girlfriend, Mary (Williams), to the night, their plan to break in seems simple enough. However, the Higgins' unexpected return wrecks the job entirely.

From traps hidden in the mansion's crevices to Ellen's psychotic hallucinations and violent behaviors, the four intruders might not be leaving this encounter with their lives or their sanity intact.
