    Okay, so The Night House is one of the scariest films I've seen in a while, reminding me why I used to find ghost stories more frightening than other types of horror. The way the spirits were depicted in the movie are refreshingly inventive, and Rebecca Hall is just so fucking good, as always.

    Rebecca Hall is absolutely incredible. I need her to start in another horror movie. I love how devastating and original this is. There’s such creative imagery, it sticks with you. A favorite of mine. #filmsky #horror My ★★★★★ review of The Night House on @letterboxd: boxd.it/9qCBhv

    THE NIGHT HOUSE (2020, VOD, #film) A flinty, melancholic, tightly-wound teacher loses her husband to suicide; haints ensue. A quite good psychological horror that excels at heebie-jeebies, anchored by a *tremendous* Rebecca Hall. It's just a damn good flick. h/t: @theharvestmaid.bsky.social

    Time for another Rebecca Hall (💀 👑) rec: The Night House. Hall is incredible here. I don't want to say too much, but this film is one of the best explorations of depression and its effects that I've seen. Plus, there's a jump scare in here that was so effective, it got me good (TW in replies)

    #filmsky The Thinking Man’s Horror Movie? The Night House (out today, 2021) sure qualifies. Rebecca Hall discovers her late husband was building a replica of their house across the lake; the reason why is terrifying. Works as either a ghost story or psychological study, and it gets under your skin.

    36. The Night House (2020) I feel like I was the only person who liked this movie but honestly it might be David Bruckner's best horror outing yet and the apotheosis of his grappling with his feelings around masculine identity, it's also extremely ME as it's built all around a single weird image

    #Filmsky #MovieChallenge Film 2: First watch of The Night House. Psychological horror that neatly pivots from an exploration of grief/hallucination story into something very different. Rebecca Hall carries the story very well which, to its credit, leaves the audience to piece it together. 7/10

    Put it in my veins. Rebecca Hall is right there with the heavy hitters like Meryl Streep and Viola Davis, to me. When she’s doing a genre film, it’s a must see now. The Night House and Christine are excellent films, and Resurrection is a genuinely brilliant film and performance. She got the goods

    Every haunted house movie is the same. Some ghost is gently pushing coffee mugs off the counters until it realizes it's the last 20 minutes of the movie and can suddenly hurl entire dressers up a flight of stairs or whatever. The Night House desperately wants to be an "elevated horror" version of this kind of story but the trope is ultimately inescapable. #Movies #TheNightHouse https://letterboxd.com/rodhilton/film/the-night-house/
