There are a few clichéd ghost motifs in this haunted house horror, but it's supremely watchable thanks to Rebecca Hall's exploration of a woman paralysed by grief.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 10, 2024

The Night House does not rely on traditional tropes or tactics to get a scare out of its viewers. It’s a slow, tense, admirably restrained burn that digs itself underneath your skin little by little.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 3, 2024

A creepy, tension filled, dark descent that gets darker and darker the more you dive into the story. Rebecca Hall gives one of her best performances & David Bruckner directs the hell out of this

What's more terrifying — to have someone you love abruptly snatched away from you? Or to discover you're safer with them gone? Both revelations are crushing, and the film does a fine job laying the groundwork and leaving viewers to decide for themselves.

The film works best when it is a straight up haunted house movie. When the third act takes a violent swerve into psychological thriller, What Lies Beneath-territory... the rock-solid performance of Hall will keep you invested.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 12, 2022

A film about picking up the pieces after your life has been completely shattered, The Night House is horror that cuts to the very soul through a devastating performance by Rebecca Hall.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 23, 2022

A warning to all who enter The Night House: this isn’t the film to watch before bed.

| Original Score: B | Sep 22, 2022

Director David Bruckner's spine-tingling horror film is a chilling meditation on grief and depression that never gives easy answers to these questions.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 20, 2022

The Night House might not stick the landing, but it's an eerie supernatural chiller with an incredible lead performance from Rebecca Hall.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 28, 2022

Note to Ari Aster: this is how you make a horror movie about depression and suicidal ideation.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 28, 2022

The Night House creates an immersive and spooky mood that works in spite of some dissatisfying explanations in the last third.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 12, 2022

The Night House is emotionally intelligent, sufficiently unnerving, and thoroughly eerie.

| Feb 12, 2022

The idea that Hall should be the lead of more movies isn't new, but The Night House solidifies it as objective fact.

The Night House is lucky to have Rebecca Hall.

It's a rare treat as an adult horror fan to be properly scared in a film and The Night House gave me that sweet, sweet high, making my blood run cold more than once.

It's directed with elegance and delves into psychological horror. [Full review in Spanish]

The Night House is the quickest way to spend nearly two hours, maintaining maximum tension and dread from minute one.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 31, 2021

This rather simple story is bent into a pretzel by Bruckner.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 25, 2021

... The Night House takes the cognitive confusion of loss and grief and gives it a thriller spin, creating a tale that will have you question what it is you see and wondering what you don't see, even as you recline in a place of comfort.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2021

A restless exercise that never really gets under the skin but gets us minimally interested throughout.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 15, 2021
