Review of The Night House (2021) by Tvjerry — 31 Aug 2021

With the exception of Candyman (I’ll review next week), most horror films these days involve some sort of evil spirit that’s haunting or possessing the protagonist (as opposed to homicidal maniacs).

This film seemed to be setting its sights higher, but fell flat. Rebecca Hall plays a woman whose husband committed suicide. The film begins as she returns to their lakeside home, but then come the hallucinations.

It’s peppered with typical mild jump scares and creepy specters, but is never scary or even tense. The revelations are never fully explored and to make matters even more unfulfilling, the ending is completely useless and confusing.
