The Night House

Simplistic Horror “The Night House” Surging Dead Husband Secrets

Co-written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski and directed by David Bruckner, The Night House follows a widow, played by Rebecca Hall, who uncovers her recently deceased husband’s disturbing secrets. These turn horrific and diabolical. Watch the trailer because it will tell you more about the horror movie.

“On the surface, there was a compelling mystery about one woman’s recently deceased husband and the question of whether we can ever truly know our loved ones. There was the awkwardness of grief and the responsibilities we have for one another in times of emotional peril. And, of course, there was the ghost story, the kind that plays fast and loose with haunt tropes in the way that any horror fan would have a blast running with,” Bruckner.

The production notes the film shows no flashback scenes, even though the movie depends on past events to move the story along. I am curious how the backstory comes into play.

Some cast members include Stacy Martin and Sarah Goldberg.

“Teen Spirit” Trailers, a Clip and Posters

Written and directed by Max Minghella, Teen Spirit follows Violet, played by Elle Fanning. She is a shy teenager who dreams of escaping her small town and pursuing her passion for singing. With the help of an unlikely mentor, she enters a local singing competition that will test her integrity, talent, and ambition. A huge list of well-known pop-fueled songs is at the end of the movie trailer, making it a must-owned soundtrack. Watch the trailer, and you will see lots of angst and frustration. Violet learns a lesson on her journey to fame and fortune.

The movie is a “stylish spin on the Cinderella story.” With so little information on the story, I wonder who prince charming is.

The movie is available on Amazon or wherever Blu-rays and DVDs are sold.

I am guessing this is Minghella’s film debut as a director. He is an actor and stars in The Handmaid’s Tale. He’s starred in major movies like The Social Network and comes from a talented family. His father is the late, well-known, Oscar-winning director Anthony Minghella. His mother, Carolyn Choa, is a choreographer.

I am sure Fanning took on this role because it is challenging. She sings, dances, and carries the whole movie. She deserves the part of Violet because she is talented and has played several active roles. She’s starred in notable films like Super-8, Maleficent, and Trumbo.

The cast rounds out, including Rebecca Hall, Zlatko Buric, and Agnieszka Grochowska.

The second poster and trailer show us more about the movie. Fanning is excellent as the Russian teen star who loves to sing; that is all she wants to do.

The following movie clip is more like a music video we used to see in the 1990s. The movie soundtrack is all original songs, so I hope this clip plays here and doesn’t get blocked due to copyright issues. Fingers crossed. I hope you see it because it is nice and tells a beautiful story.
