My favorite genre of horror is "dysfunctional family in a haunted house" so this was right up my alley. Hendrix manages to weave slasher movie horror seamlessly with a story that is, at it's heart, about grief and death and generational trauma and motherhood and trying to make the world better for our children. Also, there are killer puppets and way too many creepy dolls.
