What is The Beach House all about?
The film revolves around a young woman named Emily who decides to go to her boyfriend's parents' beach house in a vacation town. Everything seems perfect at first, they have got a neighborhood, a couple who seem to be a good company on the island. One night, Randall, Emily's boyfriend, joins Emily in their neighborhood for a drink and decides to smoke Marijuana. While on high, Randall notices a strange water texture and glowing microbes in the water and trees.
Jane becomes curious and leaves to see it up close, but starts coughing after a while and gets disoriented when a strong fog starts to form around the area. The next day, when Emily and Randell go to the beach, they find something strange as they find the beach all empty. Unaware of what's coming, Ranadell decides to swim, but he drowns.

By night, both fall more sick, and a strange fog covers the whole area, and they decide to run away in the hope of saving themselves. Only to find out her boyfriend is infected by the virus and tries to attack her, she tries to run away. Will she be able to manage the deadly loop?
