The Night House - 2020 - 6/10
After 14 years of marriage, you ought to know someone, you think?
I mean, so why did he commit suicide in the lake? And that note, what did that mean?
So Beth confides to best-friend Claire, both still in shock.
Well paced, atmospheric mystery, thriller, haunting film.
Uncanny reveals of convoluted geometry, arcane books, disturbing statues.
All the makings of an exceptional horror outing.
Pity, then, that the ending was badly, stupidly, fumbled. Apparently aimed at 3 year olds.
Same director who bungled Adam Nevill’s superb The Ritual.
