About The Hothouse
Mystery surrounds the death of a patient; another has given birth to a child, father unknown. 'Irregular' occurrences in a government psychiatric hospital build to a terrifying climax.
Directed by Harold Pinter, The Hothouse leans on a strong ensemble — Derek Newark, Angela Pleasence, Michael Forrest — 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 screen titles of 1982.
