Summary: a vicious serial killer moves to a house in England in order to be a governess and start over.
This was truly chilling, Maika Monroe may have given her best performance yet, there is something so chilling and sinister about her performance here that it will leave you disquieted.
The film lets itself down at times by trying to force in humour, and early sections feel like a Tim Burton film and that is not a good thing by any means.
The ending of the film works but you would hope that the film had either a deep meaning that addresses some of the more supernatural aspects of the story, or that she managed to get away in some capacity allowing for future exploration.
Overall, Monroe is at her best here.
3/5
Pros.
Monroe
It’s scary

Cons.
