Following the death of her husband at their idyllic lakeside house, it becomes a place of increasing terror as unexplained spooky occurrences become more extreme - or is the bereaved wife imagining things? As grief and exhaustion start to blur her grip on reality, a dark mystery about their house - which the husband built - starts to unfold. In her magnificent isolation, sounds become magnified, nothing is as it seems and it all leads to a surprisingly active and lively final act, the whole thing carried with utter commitment by Rebecca Hall. The Night House is effectively constructed and well-presented, making it suitably chilly viewing for a dark winter evening.
