20 Most Anticipated Upcoming Horror Movies
5. The Little Stranger
Having previously worked together on 2014's Frank, actor Domhnall Gleeson and director Lenny Abrahamson (who has since guided Brie Larson to her Best Actress Oscar for Room) reunite on this 1940s-set supernatural horror.
Adapted from the novel by Sarah Waters, Gleeson takes the lead as a doctor who is called out to tend to a patient at Hundreds Hall, which has been home to the same family for many generations. But, wouldn't you know it, something is haunting the crumbling old manor.
From that synopsis, it sounds like pretty standard haunted house fare; but Abrahamson, who hasn't directed a horror movie before now, has proved himself a dab hand at doing things just a little bit differently. All being well, we should be in for a Gothic horror with a twist.
