I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House Plot Synopsis:

Stained by the brutal death of a young woman, the tranquil and vacant New England mansion of the prolific horror authoress, Iris Blum, has become her silent prison. To take care of the ageing writer who suffers from chronic dementia, the property's manager hires the gentle and soft-spoken live-in hospice nurse, Lily Saylor; however, this is far from an ordinary job. Little by little, Lily's imagination will run wild, as shadowy sightings of eerie female spectres blur the frail boundaries between reality and fantasy, fable and truth. Iris has talked about man's coexistence with the spectral realm in her novels that chill the bone to the marrow. Could her secluded white house at the end of the road be an aerial limbo caught in the middle of life and death?


I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House (2016) is directed by Oz Perkins and set to release on Netflix and in movie theaters on October 28, 2016. This film looks like a treat with Ruth Wilson starring as a caretaker to an elderly horror novelist in a haunted house. I cannot help but feel that the story is a little deeper than that. An indie paranormal thriller that is perfect for Halloween. Paula Prentiss, Lucy Boynton, and Bob Balaban star in I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House.
