This is a very entertaining mix of horror, drama, and mystery! Rebecca Hall’s character was unique and constantly made what I found to be interesting choices.

Just finished first-watch with Chris. Enjoyed this a lot! Kelvin...its *pure* coincidence (alignment of moons?) that I asked you about Men 2022 just a couple days ago. I went into Night House 💯 blind. Chris: a woman grieving her husband's suicide spends time alone in a forrested house as her nighmares produce mirrored faces around her and there's occult jazz going down as the nightmare manifests into horrific confrontation. ...is a description of the movie Men (2022) as well as this. The final line of Men is her saying "yeah" instead of Night House's "I know," which... Men is far more beautiful than Night House, but Night House is the far better movie. Sadly both Kelvin and I DON'T recommend Men, Chris. Skip it. Men suck; am I right, ladies? (Sorry, sorry, 🤗, couldn't help it.)

Between that and Civil War, what the hell happened to Alex Garland?

Yeah, this movie still rules. In no small part because Rebecca Hall really brings the right energy to the role. She really effectively conveys this woman who's kind of out of her mind because of grief and anger. I agree with you, she is weird, even unsettling at times. She's got more rough edges than the usual protagonist in a more mainstream version of this story, and it lets her kind of push the movie into slightly different directions, or in some cases recontextualizes situations that would just be kind of "bad writing/dumb characters" in a lazier film. And that one song they keep playing just hits everytime, for different reasons too. Besides all that, it's also one that is well-versed enough in horror media that it managed to surprise me or to reference things I didn't expect to see referenced (the whole usage of the House and mazes definitely brings to mind a book called House of Leaves that I really should reread one of these days), or throw things at me I'd never really seen before (the negative space demon, or alternatively the invisible hugs/touches from it near the end), which I always give points for because it's harder to do over time for me lol. I'd basically never seen Hall in anything before this so it kind of made me a fan. It's funny to look back and see her in other stuff after seeing her in some more intense roles like this film, or Resurrection, or The Gift. Even in those roles where she's just completely serviceable (like in the new Godzilla X Kong film lol) I do kind of see some of the underlying essence of this one in them. She also kind of kills in the little role that Iron Man 3 lets her handle.

I enjoy Rebecca Hall's work, but she definitely surprised me here. It really was quite the performance in a rather intriguing film!
