I LOVED THIS!
Sooo good! I love horror films but most are boring or the same thing but with different actors. This was psychological horror. I’m usually the one that doesn’t understand films and often my husband has to explain them to me but about halfway through I got this one.

There is another review on here that is really excellent. If you want a really great description of this movie and what it all meant just scroll through and find all the ones with spoilers. The one that explains it all is really long but it makes so much sense.

Bottom line Domhnall Gleason wanted to be part of this family but more than that he wanted their house. In the beginning of the film you think that he’s got non-selfish reasons for wanting to be involved in their lives BUT you slowly come to see that everything he does is a calculated action to get the house.

If you go back and watch two particular parts in the movie that you may have missed it will help you make sense of this.

One scene was when he went out to dinner with that overweight guy. They got into the discussion about poltergeists. The other is – if you look on his writing pad on his desk in his house it has the same markings that they found in the house. This shows that it’s him that’s manifesting these things.

Each time Domhnall Gleason got shut down the little boy in the house would cause problems. He was the one behind all the noises. He was the one who killed Charlotte Rampling and terrorized her in the nursery. He was the one who pushed Ruth Wilson over the balcony at the end.

I feel everyone did a good job with their roles. There’s a lot of criticism of Domhnall Gleason but if you think about it he was so reserved and in control of his emotions because he was so laser focused on what he wanted. Plus you have to think about the times people were very reserved because it was what was expected of them in society.

I think you just have to be the kind of person that enjoys slow burns or doesn’t mind movies that don’t have things blowing up or smart mouth kids or tons of dumb humor.

IMHO This was indeed a horror film. It’s pretty horrifying that this doctor who was a trusted person only had sinister motives for these people. If Ruth Wilson’s character would’ve agreed to marry him she might’ve lived but because she rejected him he killed her even though he was supposed to be seemingly in love with her.

It’s not necessarily scary in the traditional sense but it is very psychologically horrifying. It stays with you.Read More
