Danielewski. What about its plot? Okay, imagine that this family is moving into a new {{color\|blue\|house}} to jump-start their lives together. [[Dysfunction Junction\|Will Navidson's a world-renowned photojournalist with lingering family issues, Karen Green is a former model with self-esteem issues]], and Chad and Daisy are their [[Creepy Child\|two lovable children]]. Will decides to make this move-in a documentary of how he got his life back on track, and he mounts video cameras and microphones in different rooms of the {{color\|blue\|house}}. About a month after they move in, the family goes to visit Karen's parents. When they return, there's a new addition to the {{color\|blue\|house}}, a closet with a connecting doorway, between the master bedroom and Chad and Daisy's room. Furthermore, out of curiosity, Will measures the inside of the {{color\|blue\|house}} compared with the outside to find out something startling: [[Bigger on the Inside\|the inside is bigger than the outside]] [[Mind Screw\|by one quarter of an inch]]...
