The Little Stranger
A rural doctor named Faraday, the son of a maid who is summoned to see a patient in a hall called the Hall of Hundreds, where his mother worked before. That room was home to the Iris family, but after a while the inhabitants of that room - the mother, the son and the daughter - began to live in an agonizing and painful state, and that room seemed completely degraded. When Faraday begins towards his new patient, Faraday does not know how that family can be connected to it and that it is interconnected with him.

[Domhnall Gleeson] keeps Faraday's wounds painfully close to the surface... Faraday's bitterness works like a depressant, consuming him but also the movie, and robbing it of some of the electrical charge vital for fully effective horror.

Abrahamson seems fascinated with the idea of gothic storytelling, but he hasn't quite got the knack of it.

At times, each of the main characters has us wondering what's going on beneath the surface. Who, if anyone, is to be trusted?

The Little Stranger is a rare thing...a classy, gloomy, sorrowful little heartbreaker.

One will wonder whether Lenny Abrahamson has his heart in all this way, way more than whether if the establishment has an (alleged) unwelcoming-presence problem.

The Little Stranger is an intriguing film, but not a great one. At times, though, its atmosphere will creep under the skin -- of attentive viewers, at least.

A hypnotic and haunting tale of how the past can grab hold of the flesh-and-blood present and squeeze. Don't let this mesmerizing mystery slip between the cracks of studio neglect and marketing indifference. It's spellbinding.

the story is a drama with a ghost-like quality that is paced slowly yet it never bores

Everything here is precise: Abrahamson's direction, the understated performances, the intrusive sounds that stop just shy of jarring. The result is more sad and spooky than suspenseful or scary, an effect that seems entirely, and pleasingly, intentional.

[An] elegant, cold-to-the-touch blend of drama and gothic horror.

Occasionally spooky, but more often snoozy.

If you are patient, this is a film that delivers chills in ways you won't quite expect.
