Viewing Notes

Sumptuous spooky set design and terrific photography that I want to just keep going for the rest of October. Perfect visuals and imagery. Haunted or not I want to live in that house.

The story is fine albeit predictable (there’s an early moment where I was like oh that’s probably the killer then a follow up scene that confirms it). The intro children’s story feels out of place (should’ve done that in Italian) but everything else is quite delightful.
