A schoolteacher's late-night arrival at a hotel in the Alps without a reservation leaves him with no option but to accept the room of a missing hotel guest — leading to a sleepless night full of strange and uncanny occurrences. Based on the classic chiller by Algernon Blackwood.

We are delighted to welcome director Kier-La Janisse to Celluloid Screams for a post-screening discussion of The Occupant of the Room and the influence of the Christmas ghost story tradition on her work.
