I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House Ratings & Reviews
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
It's an ethereal, dreamlike, malleable movie, almost in the experimental vein, unconcerned with a linear explanation of events. Ghosts are in charge here.
Jordy Reviews It
Jordy Sirkin
Atmosphere in this film is superb, and there's a great Gothic, moody presence throughout that I was certainly a fan of. Though, I felt it supported itself solely on that, with the tension never really riding a wave towards an effective result.
Nashville Scene
Jason Shawhan
I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives in the House is the slowest of slow-burn ghost stories (featuring the return to cinema of the incomparable Paula Prentiss after ages) about a young woman working as a caregiver and attendant for a reclusive novelist.
Screen Queens
Caroline Madden
Osgood Perkins certainly gives an odd cinematic flair to his images and uses his unique and impressive prose to shape interesting themes, but he ultimately fails his promising female leads.
The Blogging Banshee
Molly Henery
As a whole I am vastly underwhelmed by I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House. It is stylish and beautiful, but lacked the substance to make it a complete story.
Bloody Disgusting
Joe Lipsett
A brazen, confident sophomore effort from Osgood Perkins
The Blue Lenses
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Slow and determinedly poised ... I am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House is ... an acquired taste, but its rejection of predictable ten-minute cyclic jump-scares [and] perkily inquisitive adolescents ... make it a quiet, unsettling delight.
The Young Folks
Donald Strohman
... even if the narrative doesn't break any boundaries in its rather serviceable story, it still ultimately makes for an interesting enough late night Netflix escape.
Consequence
Randall Colburn
I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House is, at times, as laborious as its title implies, filled with long, sustained silences and ponderous pontifications with opaque implications. What props the film up is Perkins' masterful command of atmosphere.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
An atmospheric take on the haunted house flick that works more with dread and the looming specter of death than the traditional tropes that often define the genre.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
Can a horror movie get by on nothing but atmosphere, on the the je ne sais quoi of its unsettling mood? I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House suggests that maybe it can.
ComingSoon.net
Chris Alexander
It's uncompromising. And it cements Perkins as one of the most exciting architects of intelligent, artful genre films working today.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
A lightly gothic murder ballad made with great finesse and a fine cast.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Wilson delivers a hardworking performance that nonetheless can't render a familiar character type fascinating enough in a vacuum, with so little support in the writing.
We Got This Covered
Matt Donato
I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House is a slow-burn with a wonky structure, working backwards in a way that unfortunately mars any possible tension.
Film School Rejects
Matt Hoffman
The languid pacing of I Am the Pretty Thing will surely be unwelcome by anyone expecting a straightforward horror film. The film is most rewarding when approached as an experiment of sorts.
L.A. Weekly
April Wolfe
So chilling, so purely artistic that I found myself scribbling four full pages of notes to remember my thoughts in the darkened theater.
