O ovom filmu

In the summer of 1948, Dr. Faraday travels to attend to a patient at Hundreds Hall, home to the Ayres family for more than two centuries. The Hall is now in decline and its inhabitants are haunted by something more ominous than a dying way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea how closely, and how disturbingly, the family's story is about to become entwined with his own. Based on the book by bestselling author Sarah Waters, The Little Stranger stars Domhnall Gleeson (Ex Machina, Brooklyn) and is directed by Oscar®-nominated director Lenny Abrahamson (Room).

This movie wants to be so much more. A romance, scope to discuss mental illness, a horror movie late life coming of age... idk. Nothing worth watching to be scared. Acting was okay, in that I completely felt awkward im the awkward parts.

The storyline? I was wondering what I missed when the credits rolled. The actors seemed well enough. The mystery. Was left holding the bag at the end and it feels like a waste now. I would love to hear someone tell me I should read the book so I would get it. However, that seems to be the hook.

Quiet. It slowly creeps up on the viewer. The muted color scheme, hazy scenes and awkward social encounters maintain a consistent uneasiness that lasts throughout the film.
