Reeling from the unexpected death of her husband, Beth (Rebecca Hall) is left alone in the lakeside home he built for her. She tries as best she can to keep together - but then the dreams come. Disturbing visions of a presence in the house call to her, beckoning with a ghostly allure. But the harsh light of day washes away any proof of a haunting. Against the advice of her friends, she begins digging into his belongings, yearning for answers. What she finds are secrets both strange and terrible and a mystery she’s determined to resolve. (Sundance Film Festival)

O modesto Bruckner eclipsou com confiança até mesmo o hitmaker James Wan este ano. E ele surge como um novo mestre do horror psicológico, capaz de guiar até o mais experiente espetador do género através de novas catacumbas de mistério e medo. Desvendando mistérios através de becos sem saída em que nós, como espetadores ligados ao personagem principal, nunca estivemos antes, apoiando por intensos arrepios e sustos que vêm quando não os esperamos e, por causa da paz na alma, talvez nem sequer os queiramos. Brilhante. E com um valor acrescentado metafísico que não parece fora de lugar, mas que se baseia no trauma da tragédia humana com perguntas sem resposta.

A serious psychological horror film for adults, children will be bored in the multiplexes. The Dark House stands on the excellent performance of Rebecca Hall, who really nails it, making us believe her overwhelmed character of a wife consumed by insecurity and fear. I also liked the nicely built mythology around the boogeyman (where he came from and what he did), it's just a pity that there are a few ambiguities associated with him (why he did it that way). Anyway, I expected a bit more intense scares from Bruckner (especially after the excellent Ritual). 7/10

David Bruckner is a director I like a lot. With The Ritual he surprised everyone, and with Southbound he blew me away. I was looking forward to his upcoming horror film, but I didn't expect him to deliver it in such a Flanagan style! Rebecca Hall acts convincingly, but I wasn't really into her digging into the past and uncovering the truth. I was hoping for some kind of mindfuck with parallel worlds, a peek behind the curtain to the other side, and not an indirect rip-off of The Invisible Man, which is how it feels in places. It's pretty complicated and confusing and I'm not sure if it's quite fleshed-out. I didn't notice any jump-scares, and there’s certainly no gore, so it didn't work for me at all. I don't know how to rate this film, I didn't enjoy it enough to give it 3 stars, on the other hand 2 stars don't seem enough, and I like Bruckner so I'll stay on neutral ground. But I am not thrilled. Story 3/5, Action 1/5, Humor 0/5, Violence 0/5, Fun 3/5 Music 3/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 1/5, Actors 4/5. 5/10.

With minor reservations, The Night House is actually the best horror movie I have seen in months. In addition, I am fully prepared to watch it again and possibly increase the rating. I really like mature horror movies like this.

This is an excellent psychological thriller; it forces you to keep your brain cells working throughout the movie. And the more contemplative viewers will be left ruminating long after the movie finishes. The atmosphere, music and R. Hall herself are all perfect. The denouement might not suit everybody, but I am happy. There were too few scary moments, but those that saw worked very well. The movie concentrates more on the psychological side of things and plays with the viewer’s imagination, which is a good thing and certainly positive for the movie.
