neutral · AI labelView post →Okay, so The Night House is one of the scariest films I've seen in a while, reminding me why I used to find ghost stories more frightening than other types of horror. The way the spirits were depicted in the movie are refreshingly inventive, and Rebecca Hall is just so fucking good, as always.
positive · AI labelView post →Rebecca Hall is absolutely incredible. I need her to start in another horror movie. I love how devastating and original this is. There’s such creative imagery, it sticks with you. A favorite of mine. #filmsky #horror My ★★★★★ review of The Night House on @letterboxd: boxd.it/9qCBhv
positive · AI labelView post →Very glad I bought THE NIGHT HOUSE (2020). I've revisited it many times. Spellbinding performance from Rebecca Hall and a truly chilling ghost story/mystery. Such a great film. #filmsky #horrorsky
positive · AI labelView post →Also if any of you out there haven't seen The Night House (2020), David Bruckner does some interesting things on a visual/conceptual level in that movie that tells me he's a great choice to play around with the SMILE creature. Also I will never NOT recommend people watch The Ritual (2017)! 👍
positive · AI labelView post →The Night House sounds like a good ol classic kind of #horror film. Jo Nesbo? Aaron Paul? Yes please. variety.com/2025/film/gl...
neutral · AI labelView post →THE NIGHT HOUSE (2020, VOD, #film) A flinty, melancholic, tightly-wound teacher loses her husband to suicide; haints ensue. A quite good psychological horror that excels at heebie-jeebies, anchored by a *tremendous* Rebecca Hall. It's just a damn good flick. h/t: @theharvestmaid.bsky.social
positive · AI labelView post →huh I was today years old when I found out the Night House was originally a Hellraiser movie
neutral · AI labelView post →Time for another Rebecca Hall (💀 👑) rec: The Night House. Hall is incredible here. I don't want to say too much, but this film is one of the best explorations of depression and its effects that I've seen. Plus, there's a jump scare in here that was so effective, it got me good (TW in replies)
positive · AI labelView post →#filmsky The Thinking Man’s Horror Movie? The Night House (out today, 2021) sure qualifies. Rebecca Hall discovers her late husband was building a replica of their house across the lake; the reason why is terrifying. Works as either a ghost story or psychological study, and it gets under your skin.

neutral · AI labelView post →The Night House. Absolutely terrifying and another great horror performance by Rebecca Hall.
positive · AI labelView post →so! I was gonna make one of my usual anniversary posts about THE NIGHT HOUSE—a film very near + dear to my heart—which came out four years ago today. I revisited my essay about the movie for @bwdr.bsky.social + felt like I should share my ending note here: www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2024/08/07/p...
positive · AI labelView post →In my opinion the best horror movie from 2024 has been The Night House.
positive · AI labelView post →#100HorrorMoviesin92Days 58. THE NIGHT HOUSE (2020) I really liked the concept of this! Glad I went in cold. I kinda guessed where it was going, but it went there in an enjoyable (for me) way.
positive · AI labelView post →THE NIGHT HOUSE is a film that sticks to your ribs. Released on this day in 2021, I had the good fortune of chatting about this film with @bjcolangelo.bsky.social about the how the film explores trauma, mental health, survivor guilt, and illness.
neutral · AI labelView post →36. The Night House (2020) I feel like I was the only person who liked this movie but honestly it might be David Bruckner's best horror outing yet and the apotheosis of his grappling with his feelings around masculine identity, it's also extremely ME as it's built all around a single weird image
positive · AI labelView post →FILM RECOMMENDATION: The Night House (2020), starring Rebecca Hall. Currently available on Disney Plus, and also on Channel 4 for six more days. #FilmRecs25
neutral · AI labelView post →Day 27/31 The Night House (2020) #31daysofhalloween #31daysofhorror #filmsky #horrorsky 📽️ One of my favorite movies and a provocative tale of grief and nihilism.
positive · AI labelView post →Shame that Parker Finn is out, but I'll always turn up for a David Brucker horror movie after seeing 'The Night House', which is sooooo underrated.
positive · AI labelView post →The Night House (2020) was filmed in Syracuse and Skaneateles Lake and for all the work they did to set it specifically in those locations, the fact the lead is constantly running around the bottom of the lake to the other side completely pulled me out of the movie

neutral · AI labelView post →#Filmsky #MovieChallenge Film 2: First watch of The Night House. Psychological horror that neatly pivots from an exploration of grief/hallucination story into something very different. Rebecca Hall carries the story very well which, to its credit, leaves the audience to piece it together. 7/10
positive · AI labelView post →That auditory jump scare in The Night House truly is one of the best horror movie moments of the new millennium

neutral · AI labelView post →17 / #100HorrorMoviesin92Days 'The Night House' (2020) Dir. David Bruckner A slow and somewhat suspenseful story with a good performance by Rebecca Hall. There were some inconsistencies though that made the ending seem ridiculous. It's okay for a one time watch. #Filmsky #Horror #HorrorSky

neutral · AI labelView post →Sometimes I randomly think of scenes from The Night House that scare the absolute hell out of me. Great movie.
positive · AI labelView post →Put it in my veins. Rebecca Hall is right there with the heavy hitters like Meryl Streep and Viola Davis, to me. When she’s doing a genre film, it’s a must see now. The Night House and Christine are excellent films, and Resurrection is a genuinely brilliant film and performance. She got the goods

neutral · AI labelView post →I was especially impressed with the practical effects in THE NIGHT HOUSE. The filmmakers do amazing things with a limited budget, so they do as much as they can with set design and cinematography. There are a few shots in the movie that, when they finally line up just right, gave me goosebumps.

positive · AI labelView post →I’ve gotten really good at avoiding jump scares in movies, like I can tell when they’re coming and I distract myself. But I’m watching The Night House right now and it’s already destroyed me three times. I’m not even halfway through. 😳 👻 This is a good movie.

The use of environment to create danger. The duplicated house puzzle. The vibes. One of my absolute favorites from recent years. #HorrorSky #FilmSky
positive · AI labelView post →there's already a TON of The Void floating around The Night House (the best horror film of the 2020s I've seen so far) and I feel like this blend of elements would fit Bob actually quite well
