关于此电影

Merricat lives with her sister Constance and her deranged Uncle Julian. The trio are survivors of an arsenic poisoning that killed everyone else in the family five years prior. Merricat is bold and imaginative and protects the property with "spells". Despite being hated by the townspeople, the sisters live an idyllic life, until Cousin Charles arrives. Charles offers to help around the house and enquires about the family's finances. Constance is charmed by Charles, and Merricat resents Charles' intrusion. As Charles and Merricat battle for control, tragedy threatens to strike again. Based on the 1962 novel by acclaimed supernatural writer Shirley Jackson.

Alexandria is just stunning. This movie is well written , i just cant explain so others understand what it is. Strange story but captavating. If you like movies that require your attention .

No film will capture the unique, wordy magic of Jackson's novel, but this is a worthy effort anchored in four very fine performances and good direction.

So bad, gave up after 30 minutes
