Did not like The Night House that much. I think I’m burnt out with the slow flow psychological horror build up looming tension type movies.
Rebecca Hall’s facial expressions ughhhhh. She’s not ugly but looks EXACTLY like her dad but has her mother’s smile. Which the resemblance to her white euro father is kind of disturbing. I liked her in Awakening. Tragic “octaroon” tales in her background. Read that her mom and their side of the black family didn’t let their darker skinned family members visit during the day for “fear of exposing” themselves. And her family had a very sordid history of trying to “fit in” with white Society by any means necessary. Never would have known about her background had she not discussed this openly, so I respect her off the fact that she’s vocal about who she is rather than project an image within the industry and never denied her blackness. But I feel like she plays the exact same character in horror/thriller movies. For years. Like if they need a racially ambiguous angsty monotone, stoic, overly facially expressive actress- she’s on the call sheet.
