The Other People

In a town plagued with sudden deaths and missing persons, a troubled eight-year-old girl befriends a boy that lives in the shadows, and her new stepmom learns why things that live in the dark don’t want to be seen.

This is quite the decent build-up for a horror movie and it lends itself marvelously to the premise. It leans into a potential twist that doesn't quite land the way I thought it would, and I am happy that it didn't. I think it could have diminished the movie if it had turned out the way I had assumed. The acting in this is good and the story is haunting and intriguing and I had a lot of fun watching this.

Wasn't sure what the hell was going on. Thought this was about ghosts, then figured it was about flesh n blood people secretly living in this couples home and the big reveal would be some secret rooms hidden behind the closet where we see evidence of them coming and going, but nope... they were shadow creatures? But flesh and blood ... though still able to evade capture? Man, I dunno. But it's a pretty fucked up movie nonetheless.
