Review of I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016) by Ryan B — 02 Jul 2018

I fell for this movie because it was mentioned that it was a 'slow-burner' and 'not-your-typical-hollywood-horror' kindda movie. All these signs made me think this movie was going to be awesome.

However, I soon found out that this wasnot the case for such movie. Yes, it nailed the atmosphere right, I will give it that. However, this movie fails on every other level; seriously.

You see, there is a fine line between intentional vagueness in a story that is intended to urge the viewers to think, and the lack of story or plot altogether. I think the former is artistic, but the lattter is just lazy writing stemming from the lack of creativity.

This movie touches briefly on some promising ideas of death and what it feels like being a ghost, but it really never delves deeply into any of them.

Alll in all, I felt this movie was a waste of time. The only reason you would wanna watch this movie is if you were someone writing a horror story and need some new ideas.
