Down a Dark Hall
A new student (AnnaSophia Robb, The Way, Way Back) at a boarding school confronts the institution's supernatural occurrences and the dark powers of its headmaster (Uma Thurman).
A difficult young girl named Kit (Robb) is sent to the mysterious Blackwood Boarding School when her temper becomes too much for her mother to handle. Once she arrives, Kit encounters eccentric headmistress Madame Duret (Thurman) and meets the school’s only other students, four young women also headed down a troubled path. While exploring the school, Kit and her classmates discover that Blackwood Manor hides an age-old secret rooted in the paranormal.
