The Night House


Reeling from the unexpected death of her husband, Beth (Rebecca Hall) is left alone in the lakeside home he built for her. She tries as best she can to keep together-but then the dreams come. Disturbing visions of a presence in the house call to her, beckoning with a ghostly allure. But the harsh light of day washes away any proof of a haunting. Against the advice of her friends, she begins digging into his belongings, yearning for answers.

Was this movie a decent arthouse kind of psychological thriller?  Yes.  Was that what it was hyped to be.  Not really.  The trailer and ads for this definitely had it set up to be more of a fearfest than it was.  I hate when studios do that.  If you are not proud enough of your movie to market it right than don't make one.  Again - the movie wasn't awful.  It was a decent watch.  It managed to keep your attention enough but when you keep looking for something that was advertised its hard to enjoy the movie.

I wouldn't really recommend anyone bothering with this.  It's not bad but its not great either.  Definitely not worth money at a theater and can wait until it shows up on cable or a streaming service.
