This is essentially...

A modern take on Stephen King's excellent novella "The Breathing Method", but with more stories as opposed to just the one. The central idea is there, though, except this is more gothic, whereas King's version was more in the vein of a Stonemason/Gentleman's Club. Not original, then, as some posters have commented, but the idea worked well in the novella and I'll be interested to see how it pans out in this film.
