Oh it's his daughter directing it? 

 

I was getting similar vibes to The Village

I like this. Feels like they’re going the classic route.

Can't wait to watch this! The book was sooooo good, super creepy and uncomfortable to read alone in the dark.

Not gonna lie I fell asleep at some parts

But it was a decent film and quite impressive for a directorial debut.

It's not very scary and it's really fantastical but I enjoyed it for the most part.

I liked this, it's a bit disjointed in its storytelling and not fleshed out enough, but i liked the vibe, the cast and the lore of the creatures was fascinating. I'm reading the book at the moment but i'm only around page 60/70 and didn't expect the movie to dive more into fantasy with horror elements.

Would you mind elaborating

We were not impressed. I left totally disappointed

saw this on sunday night, it was cute. I liked the idea and I thought it competently played with the innate human fear of doppelgängers. The twist was... twisting. I think it couldve landed a bit better but I personally enkoyed it. 3/5. Performances, cinematography, editing and sound design were all great! I think we can expect good things from miss Ishana

Just kidding. On what part exactly? It just felt like they rushed some parts a bit and brushed over it, instead of going more into depth. Especially in comparison to the book. I'm not finished yet, but as an example 

Spoiler

when Ciara's husband is knocking at the door, there is this whole conflict in the book about not letting him in and Mina and Daniel are siding with Madeline, which creates a whole new dynamic between Ciara and the rest of the group, over months. And it's still in the movie, kind of, but not as deep. Which makes kinda sense, because they do have to shorten some things, but idk. I think this movie would've actually benefitted from a longer runtime. And with disjointed i mean that there are different plot points, like the main storyline in the "house" and them being watched, the mythology of the fairies, Madeline being one of them, the professor, the whole backstory with Minas mother (which they kinda changed for whatever reason) and the ending...and it just sometimes feels like it doesn't flow so well into each other, if you know what i mean.
