The film centers on a family relocating to a new house—and while I appreciated the layout and design of this large property, it soon becomes clear that its impressive appearance hides a group of four people grappling with past trauma. There’s nothing particularly original about this setup, and unfortunately, nothing changes as the daughter, Chloe, portrayed by Callina Lang, develops an attraction to Ryan, played by West Mulholland, who quickly befriends her brother Tyler—a handsome but dull character brought to life by Eddy Maday. They begin a relationship rather quickly, but at the same time, she starts feeling like someone is watching her. Objects move on their own, Tyler’s room is vandalized, and even the spiritualist they hire to investigate senses something amiss with the house and its antique silver nitrate mirror. What happens next, you'll need to see for yourself, but I have to say that the first few minutes of shaky camera work really bothered me—particularly the fish-eye lenses which create a distorted view. It made me feel a little queasy, and I wasn’t sure if it was footage from a drone or someone moving silently through the house, offering us a repetitive look at the family's lives. The mother, played by Lucy Liu, is constantly on her laptop; the father, portrayed by Chris Sullivan, seems lost and directionless; the brother is looking for attention; and the daughter is an unengaging teenager struggling with unresolved issues that are revealed later in the film. The parents seem like a mismatched pair who would never have chosen each other. At least the filmmakers didn't rely on cheap visual effects, but ultimately what we’re left with is a story driven by dialogue that concludes far too suddenly, as if the short story it was based on simply ran out of material. It was disappointing, I’m afraid.
