Little Stranger, The

When a stoic British doctor (Domhnall Gleeson) goes to the rundown Hundreds Hall mansion in the English countryside, which continues to infatuate and haunt his dreams him since visiting as a young boy (Oliver Zetterström) with his servant mother, to treat an overburdened, sickly household maid (Liv Hill) in 1948 in this slow-paced, moody, puzzling, well-acted, multilayered, 111-minute psychological gothic film based on Sarah Waters' novel, he becomes embroiled in the dysfunctional family dynamics of an impoverish matriarch (Charlotte Rampling), her anxiety-prone daughter (Ruth Wilson), and her burned, PTSD-afflicted, crippled veteran son (William Poulter).
