The Film

When horror writer Iris Bloom is forced to hire a live-in nurse, the new employee comes to believe that Bloom's most popular novel could have been based on a real-life murder the now bed-ridden author Bloom may have committed at the house.

Why Watch It?

With Jake Gyllenhaal's Nocturnal Animals coming, it seems that in-movie universe books and the blurred distinctions between fiction and reality are a big thing in the final couple of months of 2016. It's a fairly compelling idea, after all, and the Netflix distributed horror ill obviously trade heavily on slow-burn thrills.

The title is also a wonderful thing (particularly as it's the kind of catchphrase a ghost might use in the night to scare the living bejesus out of you). It's also directed by the son of Psycho legend Anthony Perkns, so the credentials look impressive to say the least.
