Beautiful Movie

I have to recommend the ghost story film on Netflix entitled, "I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House"

A lot of poor reviews on Netflix and IMDb, a lot of 1's poor poor bored people... 5.something on IMDb.

It was pure poetry... some might hate it the way I hate the Paranormal Activity sequels... when I say nothing happens... that's what they'd say about this movie... but unlike those, I loved this. The big difference is that this was full of poetry and ambiance and atmosphere, and Paranormal Activity was really lacking in aesthetic... there's an art to this movie, it's everywhere... in the dialog, in the scenery, in the wallpaper, in the pacing, and in the story. It's pure story.

I think it's possibly explained in the narration at the end:

"I have heard myself say, that a house with a death in it can never again be bought or sold by the living, it can only be borrowed from its ghosts. And so it is. The house that stands at the end of Teacup Road, near the town of Braintree, Massachusetts. You may borrow it from me. Because the memory of a death is a thing that stays, pressed deeply in place like type on paper. Even after it has been covered up with nothing left to see. And still I think I'll stay for one more look at her. This is how I let myself rot. The pretty thing you are looking at is me."

To me it means all things of history are the forgotten lives of those who have died... within the ground, the walls, are their memories, once so meaningful to them, so pretty so hopeful... and when we look at them, we bring them back to life to get another look at the world through us.

I found the movie quite beautiful.
