This movie has a slow, creepy start that draws you in. It’s about Lily, a nurse caring for an elderly author in a house that feels more alive than it should. The quiet tension builds as Lily starts to sense something is wrong, and the house’s dark history begins to surface. But the ending, where Lily dies and becomes another ghost, feels too easy and expected. It doesn’t match the slow buildup or give the story a bigger payoff. A better ending might have tied Lily’s fate to the author’s books, suggesting the house was pulling her into its stories instead of just killing her off.
