The curiously titled I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House opened with interesting visuals and fantastic narration, true be told I was gripped from the outset.
It tells the story of a nurse who moves in with an old lady who was once a successful author. To say anything more would spoil it, to say anything more would also be difficult as it's rather hard to explain.
So as mentioned the visuals were great and the narration solid, sadly the visuals don't last and the narration isn't enough to save the film. Not even remotely.
The film is certainly unique but I'm not quite sure who it'll appeal to, certainly not someone seeking a horror. It's an unusual little slow burning tale that had me interested but all the while I waited for it to get going.
Alas the movie though charming fails to deliver on any front, at least for me.
The Good:
Really unique style
Great narration
Bob Balaban
The Bad:
Really dull
Goes nowhere
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Ghosts are made by looking for them but pretending not to see
28yrs old? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha NO!
