... even if the narrative doesn't break any boundaries in its rather serviceable story, it still ultimately makes for an interesting enough late night Netflix escape.

Can a horror movie get by on nothing but atmosphere, on the the je ne sais quoi of its unsettling mood? I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House suggests that maybe it can.

The tedious images and whispers that flood the film are not enough to keep the public's interest. [Full review in Spanish]

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House is, at times, as laborious as its title implies, filled with long, sustained silences and ponderous pontifications with opaque implications. What props the film up is Perkins' masterful command of atmosphere.

An atmospheric take on the haunted house flick that works more with dread and the looming specter of death than the traditional tropes that often define the genre.

So chilling, so purely artistic that I found myself scribbling four full pages of notes to remember my thoughts in the darkened theater.

It's uncompromising. And it cements Perkins as one of the most exciting architects of intelligent, artful genre films working today.

Wilson delivers a hardworking performance that nonetheless can't render a familiar character type fascinating enough in a vacuum, with so little support in the writing.
