'Verity' Builds Its Suspense Into a House in the Woods

The new film of Colleen Hoover's "Verity" centers on a single house, a large residence set apart among the trees. Its design is meant to do two things at once: draw a viewer in with its allure and keep them uneasy at the same time. That double effect comes from deliberate design choices, which is why a house built for the screen deserves a careful look. The report names no architect, no address and no price, so for now the house can only be judged as audiences will see it, on screen.
