I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House (2016) ***

An incredibly minimalist slow burner with plenty of spookery, uneasy imagery, creepy sound design, and a very good central performance by Ruth Wilson, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House (2016) is a solid follow-up by Oz Perkins to his great debut The Blackcoat's Daughter (2015) (my review here). I can't help wishing there was just a bit more substance to the film, but I did enjoy it. I appreciate that spare films like this exist, and would recommend it for anyone who enjoys a good glacial ghost story.

For fans of The Innocents (1961), The Haunting (1963), The Changeling (1980) (my review here) and The Innkeepers (2011).
