If The Orphanage hit the spot, these will too

Both land dread and unease at once
The difference: Takes it somewhere less contemplative than The Orphanage does

Contemplative and tense in the same breath

Horror with a pulse of dread, in both cases

Drama built on unease, twice over

Both are working the same pair: medium, haunted house

Both lean on dread more than on horror
The difference: The scrappier of the two with critics

Contemplative drama in both cases


Both lean on stillness more than on horror


In the mood for more dread?
