Weeknight Watchearly ratingWhy it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for people who like the lights on afterwards and anyone who enjoys a good scare. The scares come from the creaks and shadows as much as the jumps. A good follow-up to A Nightmare on Elm Street or The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It.
- The mood
- Scary.
- The pace
- Builds dread steadily, at 1 hr 34 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Skip it if you scare easily or watch alone at night.
An American horror writer, haunted by childhood nightmares, moves to an old mansion in Italy with her husband and young son only to discover the nightmares were real.
