Unknown Author 1, Charlotte Perkins Gilman

The Yellow Wallpaper is a 2011 Gothic thriller film directed by Logan Thomas. It is based on the 1892 short story of the same name written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman.

The film is an “Origins Myth" rather than a direct adaptation of the famous Charlotte Perkins Gilman story. Drawing from the original short story and a number of Gilman's other gothic works (The Giant Wisteria, The Unwatched Door, etc.). Also, the film is an original narrative of events that unfold around the actual writing of “The Yellow Wallpaper” short story. The film's plot is greatly expanded from the bare bones of Gilman's often-anthologized short story. It stars Juliet Landau as Charlotte and Aric Cushing (as her husband John), Golden Globe winner Michael Moriarty as Mr. Hendricks, Veronica Cartwright, Raymond J. Barry, and Independent Spirit Award winner Dale Dickey. The story surrounds Charlotte and John, who retreat to a countryside house in an attempt to start their life over after a devastating fire takes the life of their daughter. Soon the spirit of the deceased Sarah and other spirits are haunting the place. There are feral dogs, an interaction with a dead man in armor, and a shout out to classic, early genre vampire fiction.
