House On Eden (2025) Ending Explained - Uncovering The Home's Secrets

Welcome to Knockout Horror. If you are new here, we review horror movies, explain horror movie endings, and put out horror movie ranking lists. Today we are explaining the ending to the found footage horror movie House On Eden (2025). Obviously, the article ahead will have spoilers so be warned.

A Quick Aside

Just before we start, has it surprised anyone else how much hate this movie is getting? I mean, it’s not an incredible film by any stretch and it certainly isn’t reinventing the wheel but it’s an easy enough watch. I always grade low budget found footage on a curve. A DIY found footage 3 out of 5 isn’t the same as a big budget 3 out of 5. As far as I see it, this is a competent movie considering the no-budget.

Whenever I review films like this and see the hate, it always makes me wonder what people are expecting. Whether it’s Lexi, Life of Belle, Invited, or this; I just don’t get it. It’s just people who love horror doing the best they can with what they have and usually producing something that’s pretty watchable.

I say that as someone who is usually overly critical about bad horror, as well. There are plenty of movies like Something Walks in the Woods where absolutely nothing happens and you can tell the filmmaker just wanted to make some quick money. That isn’t the case here because the creators really didn’t need the money in the first place. They certainly don’t need the fame.

The way IGN reviewed this movie, you would be forgiven for thinking KallMeKris copped a squat in the dude’s cornflakes. House on Eden is fine. It’s not going to win any awards but fans of YouTube paranormal investigation stuff will have a good time. Anyways, on with the article.

The Plot Is Pretty Straightforward

There’s nothing all that new here, we can recap it pretty quickly. Three paranormal investigator YouTubers head out into the woods. They think they are going to investigate a graveyard but they are not. Kris has heard about a supposedly haunted house that, apparently, nobody has ever investigated before and drops the change of plans on them at the last minute.

She believes the house has some connection to the disappearance of a girl 60 years ago. Wanting those all important views, she takes her team out there to make a video. They aren’t happy but they go along with it because Kris pays the bills.

Lots of trekking through the woods happens. I am not quite sure who built a random road this deep in the woods with no connection to any larger town or road system but whatever. On the way, the group find what looks like a ceremonial ring of stones. Almost like a Pagan stone circle but without the standing stones and made of breezeblocks. Got to move with the times, I guess. Naturally, they are a bit spooked out but they carry on.

They eventually make their way to the house. I have got to imagine this is some old hotel somewhere. What with the pristine condition and the individual rooms having modern locks. It’s a cool house but, being from Wales in the UK, these big stately homes are all over the place. It looks a bit too pristine.

Haunted House Stuff Happens

Obviously being pretty chuffed to find the house, Kris is eager to get to work filming and conducting investigations. Unfortunately, one of them managed to drop an expensive camera on the trail.. Muppet! Celina and Jay head back to find that while Kris stays behind to guard their stuff. While they are gone, Kris does some filming and decides to throw in a little violent puking to mix things up a bit.

During her investigation, Kris finds a pretty awesome looking book and a picture of a naked chick with a snake. She also finds the word “Lilith” above one of the doors. We will learn more about all of this later on. While walking downstairs, Kris is spooked by something and falls, knocking herself out. The group help her before deciding to leave and sleep in the van for the night.

Only, they don’t leave, they wake up the next morning still in the house. I have had nights like that but they usually involve a little more whisky. The next 40 minutes is a mix of investigations and spooky stuff happening.

Celina seems catatonic on a few occasions, Jay pisses himself and gets punched, a girl supposedly communicates with them and tells them about a woman named Lilith, we see an old woman on camera in one of the rooms, and the group fall out because of Kris’ abrasive style of leadership.

From Bad To Worse

In the midst of the final stage of the movie, Jay decides to quit and heads outside. Celina and Kris both experience strange happenings during their separate investigations. They eventually meet back up and decide to look for Jay after Celina fails to contact him on the phone.

They can’t find Jay and an argument breaks out over Kris’ tyrannical managerial style and the fact that Kris feels like she does all the work.

Kris goes to lie down, leaving her camera. Celina checks the camera and we see some footage of Kris at the store buying snacks. An old woman is sitting in a chair at the store looking spooky. She congratulates Kris on something which confuses Kris a lot.

We will be seeing a lot more of this woman in just a little…. A looot more. Celina also sees Jay’s video from when he went outside. It turns out, he went to investigate a noise and was seemingly dragged off.

The Ending

Eventually, Kris wakes and sets about searching the house for her friends. She finds Celina who is scraping the flesh away from her arms, like you do… Celina says “That’s Mine” before vanishing into thin air. Kris heads to the bathroom where she is pushed into the bath by a woman, nearly twatting her head in the process by the looks of things. That was a dangerous stunt.

Eventually, Kris wakes from her unexpected blood bath and escapes up to the attic. While there, she is attacked by a naked chick who knocks her unconscious. The naked chick then cuts her own throat. Kris wakes up and leaves the attic, walking to the ceremonial stone (or breezeblock) ring where a cult like gathering awaits.

There, she is stripped naked (tastefully, booo) and the blood from Jay and Celina, who have both been sacrificed, I guess, is smeared all over her. The spooky cult has a sense of retro style, as well, filming the whole event in glorious film rather than going with the digital cameras. Okay, let’s explain the ending and answer some questions, but not in that order.

Why Was Kris Puking?

This is really simple and was alluded to occasionally. Kris was pregnant and suffering from morning sickness… But, in the night.. Night sickness? You get the idea. She was pregnant and that’s kind of the whole tie that binds this story together.

When Kris encountered the woman at the shop and the old woman congratulated her. She was congratulating her because she knew she was pregnant. This brings us neatly onto our next question.

Who Was The Old Woman?

The old woman, I am assuming, was the girl who went missing 60 years ago. Only, she isn’t that girl anymore. The old woman is the she-demon Lilith who is now possessing the girl’s body. The girl’s spirit was left inside the house on Eden road.

This is the whole reason why the crew are here investigating the house. Kris believes that the disappearance of the girl had some connection to this house which is true. When they conduct their investigations, they speak to a spirit who claims she was taken by “her” and then mentions the name Lilith. Meaning the girl’s body was taken and her spirit was left trapped in the house.

Who Is Lilith?

Someone on IMDB gets real angry about the way this movie depicts Lilith and relates the character to Christianity. It’s funny how some people head into found footage films expecting biblically accurate stories. Anyways, Lilith was, supposedly, the first wife of Adam in the garden of Eden.

Lilith refused to be subservient to Adam, grew wings and fled the garden of Eden. In turn, she was demonised and vilified. She was said to prey on young children, pregnant women, and to seduce men in their sleep. Pregnant mothers would actually wear amulets to protect themselves from Lilith while pregnant.

Things have taken a bit of a different turn in recent years. Lilith is now seen as a symbol of feminism and viewed positively as a representation of sexuality, power, and femininity. There are so many different interpretations of this figure that it is difficult to summarise but you get the idea.

Why Did Lilith Possess The Girl?

The demon Lilith possessed the girl’s body with the intention of having children. That’s Lilith’s curse for leaving the garden of Eden and disobeying Adam. She is cursed to never bear children. Well, at least, that’s what it is in this movie. I believe there are tons of different stories related to Lilith and no scholarly consensus on any of it.

Either way, Lilith had a fascination with children due to not being able to have her own. In the context of this film, she would possess women and girls so that she could have children. That’s why she possessed the girl 60 years ago. Obviously, now that the girl’s body is old, she needs a new vessel which will come into the story just a little later on.

Why Did Jay Piss Himself?

This seems like a bit of a passing moment with no real point beyond a quick laugh but it is actually a little deeper than that. Jay didn’t actually piss himself. He was, I guess in this case at least, a victim of a nocturnal emission. More commonly known as a “wet dream”.

So, yeah, he jizzed his pants while sleeping and, apparently, had been out of action for awhile because there was enough “emission” for it to look like he had pissed himself.

Bit of a weird detail? Well, not if you refer back to the folklore surrounding Lilith. Apparently, Lilith was well known for sexually assaulting sleeping men, causing them to blow their loads while sleeping. In Christianity, years ago, this was a well known explanation for wet dreams. So Lilith is in the house and she assaulted Jay while he was sleeping.

What Happened to Jay and Celina?

Both of them are now dead. Celina was, seemingly, possessed by Lilith and then killed after violently scratching at her arm. Remember when she said to Kris “That’s Mine”? That was because she was possessed by Lilith and Lilith was referring to Kris’ unborn child. This echoed Lilith’s plan to steal the child.

Jay was killed outside. I am assuming by the cultists because there is no real indication one way or another. He was lured away from his seat and murdered, either way.

The pair were then taken to the Pagan-like ceremonial circle to be sacrificed. Their blood used in, what I can only image, a cleansing ritual for Lilith after she had acquired a new physical form. That leads us onto our next question.

What Happened to Kris?

Kris was pushed into a bath of blood, I guess as part of the whole possession ritual, maybe as a form of cleansing? She then escapes to the attic where she was attacked by Lilith who was still possessing the body of the girl who went missing in the house 60 years ago.

For some reason she is naked now. I always think nudity works well for shock value so I respect the inclusion of it, here. Still, I was not expecting that. Lilith knocks Kris unconscious, she cuts her own throat because she doesn’t have any use for that body anymore, and then she takes possession of Kris’ body.

Why Did Lilith Want Kris’ Body?

Lilith wanted Kris’ body because she was pregnant. She wants to steal her child and, probably, bear more demon children in the future, breaking her curse. Lilith has scorn towards women of child bearing age and towards new and expectant mothers.

Lilith, now possessing Kris’ body, heads to the ceremonial circle where a group of cult members wait for her. There, they wash her body with the blood of Jay and Celina, likely as part of some blood ritual. What with blood being thought to symbolise vitality, life, and all of that type of shit. I wonder if the people of the surrounding area were the cult members? Would kinda make sense, I suppose.

We can assume that Kris’ spirit will be trapped in the house for eternity, the same way that the little girl’s spirit was trapped in the house. Remember when the group were investigating and communicated with the girl? Either way, that’s a pretty nice house to be trapped in if you have to be trapped somewhere, she will have some company, as well. Always look on the bright side, and all.

And That’s That

So to quickly summarise, the guys investigate the house and the disappearance of a girl, the girl had actually been possessed by the demon Lilith, Lilith needs a new body and child, she kills Jay and Celina and possesses the body of the pregnant Kris. Pretty simple, really. Thanks for reading and spending your time at Knockout Horror.
