I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House (2016)

A nurse is hired to care for an elderly horror author, but she begins to have strange experiences in the house that seems haunted.

An atmospheric, gothic film. It's labelled horror but it's more like poetry. Full of contradictions and slow at a first impression, it is a particular class of film that will not have many fans, to the same extent that for example rhyme-less poetry  doesn't. It presents ghosts in the only way that really makes sense, reminiscent of another film that divided opinions, namely A Ghost Story (2017). Still, a delight for those patient enough.

Director / Screenplay: Oz Perkins
With: Ruth Wilson
