Synopsis/Details
In the forgotten shadows of Houston, Liam is a man whose face has been scarred by betrayal and poverty, rejected by society. When he accidentally encounters a real murder video online, he decides to use death as a means to survive. He films his killings and uploads them on the dark web, quickly becoming a symbol of fear and twisted entertainment.
After Liam's death, his three sons grow up bearing deep wounds and a bloody past. Seventeen years later, they rebuild their father's legacy into a dark business: an underground betting site where innocent victims are hunted live by users' votes.
When Nala’s photo—the daughter of Malik, a former special forces officer—appears on the victims' list, a new battle begins. Malik returns from exile, hides his identity, and infiltrates the hellish world created by Liam’s sons.
Ultimately, within the heart of the “House of Skulls”—a mansion built from human bones—Malik fights the final battle. This time, not just for his daughter, but for all the victims whose deaths were watched by countless spectators.
“House of Skulls” is a gripping, intense thriller about revenge, inherited wounds, and crimes that hide in the dark but are never forgotten.
