Barbara Hershey is quite familiar with horror films. The Manor on Amazon Prime is a different type of terror as she plays a senior with dementia haunted by a creature lurking in the dark. Only her grandson (played by Nicholas Alexander) would possibly believe her.

Here’s the official synopsis:

A malevolent force preys upon the residents of a sleepy nursing home in The Manor, a gothic tale of terror with a modern twist. When a mild stroke diminishes her ability to care for herself, Judith Albright (Barbara Hershey) moves to Golden Sun Manor, an assisted living facility with a sterling reputation. But despite the best efforts of the staff, and a budding friendship with fellow senior Roland (Bruce Davison), strange occurrences and nightmarish visions convince Judith that a sinister presence is haunting the massive estate. As residents begin to die mysteriously, Judith’s frantic warnings are dismissed as fantasy. Even her devoted grandson Josh (Nicholas Alexander) thinks her fears are the results of dementia, not demons. With no one willing to believe her, Judith must either escape the confines of the manor or fall victim to the evil that dwells within it.

The film also stars Bruce Davison, Jill Larsen, Fran Bennett, and Katie Amanda Keane. Axelle Carolyn directed and wrote the movie.
