Viewing Notes

via Netflix

This could be interchangeable with a supernatural force and still work. Focusing more on the personal horror of being tormented, in this case by aliens we don’t get to see much of, this builds up suspense with all the hallmarks of a haunted house and uses them effectively. Creepy and well acted.
