Presented as an original, chilling journey into madness, The Yellow Wallpaper is the film adaptation of the short story of the same name written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman in 1892. The literary work itself was praised by H. P. Lovecraft in his 1927 essay "Supernatural Horror in Literature."

Plot: Jane (Alexandra Loreth) is a writer and a young mother who is prescribed rest therapy by her physician husband John. Therefore, during the summer season, the man moves with his wife to a remote country estate. Here, however, the woman will become obsessed with the yellow wallpaper (chosen by her husband himself) covering the walls of the bedroom.
While in solitary confinement, Jane will secretly write about a woman trapped in wallpaper and whom she will try to free.
In the cast of The Yellow Wallpaper Joe Mullins, Clara Hart, Mark P. O'Connor, and Jeanne O'Connor also appear.
