Netflix is now streaming Osgood Perkins’ must see I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, which stars Academy Award Nominee Bob Balaban (The Grand Budapest Hotel, Moonrise Kingdom), Lucy Boynton (February) and Golden Globe winner Ruth Wilson (“The Affair,” Saving Mr. Banks).
Bloody Disgusting previous shared the exclusive trailer premiere for I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House, which follows Lily (Wilson), a young nurse hired to care for elderly Helen Bloom, a best-selling author of ghost stories who has chosen to live out her final days in her beloved country home – a home that holds an horrific ghost story of its own.
Joe Lipsett reviewed the film out of the Toronto International Film Festival, calling it a “slow-burn ghost story” that’s “a brazen, confident sophomore effort from Perkins.”
Perkins is now one of my top indie filmmakers. In addition to this must-see gem, his directorial debut, The Blackcoat’s Daughter (February), landed in my list of best genre films of 2015.
