Not sure why this has gotten so much hate!
A sinister and atmospheric thriller where the lead character is either going insane or being gaslighted at the hands of queen Fiona Shaw is basically my ideal movie. Some of the execution is a bit wanting- I could have used more build up of Ben and Charlotte’s relationship for one, and could have gone without the reductive and unnecessary final scene for another- but the movie succeeds at being moody and maddening. The dilapidated country manor is a lead character all its own, complete with twisting hallways, peeling wallpaper and heavy carved doors constantly being shut (and locked) in Charlotte’s face.
