oh i really like this! on paper it doesn't sound like a very interesting premise, but the execution is really delicate and it lands it quite effectively. i think this will feel slow or aimless to some people, but for the right audience it's very dense and engaging. there are so many good details: the brothers all arriving home through the unlocked second floor window, the ways the all show their closed-offness differently, the former occupant who visits, with her own secret knowledge of the space. the characters all feel really grounded and real. refreshing and with a rare light touch.

I feel like it went over my head and/or I wasn’t the target audience. Also not sure why it would be on Shudder. Wasn’t even creepy.

Not bad actually but I was expecting a little bit more action

It is a very slow paced film about returning to a childhood home as a young adult and revisiting family history which has been transformed through nostalgia to recognize some of the difficult realities of one's childhood but through a paranormal lens. I love that Shudder includes these films in their repetory but it isn't spooky, scary, goopy and gory film one may want in October.

Ok. I tried but 30 minutes in and nothing has happened. Dull and worthless.
