We Always Lived in the Castle

When their charming, devious, handsome cousin (Sebastian Stan) who has ulterior motives arrives at an isolated Victorian mansion in New England to try and lay claim to the family fortune after the owners of the house mysteriously died of arsenic poisoning five years earlier in this dark, somber, well-acted, slow-paced, 95-minute psychological thriller based on Shirley Jackson's 1962 novel, the mentally unstable, superstitious, 18-year-old teenager (Taissa Farmiga) unravels even more and becomes increasingly obsessed with casting supernatural spells in an attempt to protect the house and her beautiful, older sister (Alexandra Daddario) and her wheelchair-bound, dementia-afflicted uncle (Crispin Glover).
