Fantastic. I went in expecting a horror story and I got one, but not the one I expected. Instead of ghosts, I got personal ghosts of a female psyche as she descends into madness and I loved it. So skillfully written and carefully explored, it made me feel as id I personally walked the halls of the titular house.
