The similarities were uncanny to me

Yup, very Hill House-ish.

IMDb: A place where actors are complimented for their acting, actresses for their boobs

Oh yeah. The narrative (not to mention atmosphere) had a Shirley Jackson vibe to it and the actress playing the young Iris Blum even had a passing resemblance to Jackson right down to the eyeglasses and smoking non-stop.

Definitely, a good call.

Yes.

Guess this could've been titled: I am the pretthy thing that has always lived in the house.

I'll be good I swear... I'll never see a movie ever again.
