A woman becomes obsessed with the (admittedly hideous) wall coverings in her temporary summer home in this upcoming horror. It’s based on the short story of the same name by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, which was published in 1892.
Here’s the synopsis:
Jane, a writer and young mother, is prescribed a rest treatment by her physician husband John, who takes her to a remote country estate for the summer. She becomes obsessed with the peculiar yellow wallpaper in the bedroom he has chosen for her. In her isolation, she secretly writes about a woman trapped in the wallpaper—that she must free.
