Revealing mistake: Later into the film Roger realises that his aunt's paintings hold some significance to the whereabouts of his missing son. He removes a cloth from the top left of a painting revealing an image of his son trapped in his bathroom cabinet. Note the cabinet door is the wrong way round to the one in his bathroom.
House (1986)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Steve Miner
Starring: George Wendt, William Katt, Kay Lenz, Richard Moll
Big Ben is behind all the supernatural events occurring to Roger Cobb in his house. Ben comes back from beyond the grave, still seriously pissed that Roger let him die at the VC's hands back in NAM (deep behind enemy lines). Ben was critically wounded, but instead of putting him out of his misery, Roger panicked and fled, leaving his comrade to suffer a more cruel torture fate when Charlie came across him. Ben kidnapped Jimmy and has been set on forcing Roger to kill himself so Ben can put him through the same suffering he got when he was executed. Roger, however, overcomes Ben's powers and after snatching back his son away from his old buddy's grip, Roger shoves one of Ben's own grenades deep into his chest, blowing him into bloody bits and burning down the house in the process. Outside, his wife is at long last reunited with her offspring as Roger looks on.
