Atmospheric as Hell.....Predictable as Hell
25 August 2021
Warning: Spoilers
I hate it when people write reviews and are like "it was so predictable" it instantly puts people off a movie that could otherwise have some brilliant features, The Night House happens to be one of those films.

There's one line in the film, referring to the main characters past which instantly gives away the films plot and ending, and the pieces of the story fit the bill so nicely that it's impossible to not understand the series of events which led to this part of the widows tale (i think that's ambiguous enough to avoid spoilers).

So anyway, since Hollywood is incapable of creating anything new, they should at least make things well, in the case of The Night House they truly did, it is extremely atmospheric, in fact I'd easily call it "Eerie" as Hell, I really was on the edge of my seat in parts in particular the bathroom mirror scene, a mirror scene which is completely unlike all other horror movie mirror scenes was really tense and I was legitimately uncomfortable in my seat.

I'd recommend watching if you appreciate an atmospheric horror as I do with good performances, just don't expect a Christopher Nolan mind game.
