The Eighth House

James, a veteran who has lived mostly in isolation for 2 years, except for his weekly baseball coaching job, starts receiving a free trial from a local newspaper, and notices that his horoscopes keep coming true. He soon begins a relationship with the newspaper delivery girl, Faith, the two of them falling in love. But before long, James becomes too engrossed by living by his daily horoscope, which wears on his relationship with Faith. He meets the writer of the horoscopes, a cult leader named Holly Adams, devoting himself to her as a disciple, as the world around him begins to crumble.

Directed by Chris Carson Emmons, The Eighth House leans on a strong ensemble — Cortney Palm, Scott Deckert, Sandi Gardiner — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
