This is a great take on a haunted house (or I suppose more of a haunted home). In the wake of their parents' deaths, three siblings are drawn back together and forced to face the memory of their childhood trauma.
Throughout you're wondering which horrors are real and which imagined, and what worse horror the imagined ones hide.
It takes an unflinching look at racism, transphobia, gender dysphoria, and self-loathing while unpicking the mystery of the house that killed their parents.
For fans of Private Rites (who can handle something that gets darker and more violent) or those who enjoyed Tell Me I'm Worthless.
