Movie review
An exercise in stiffness and rigidity, "The Little Stranger" is a handsomely
executed, but crushingly dull period horror story

The story unfolds in post-WWII England. Domhnall Gleeson stars as Dr. Faraday,
Eontoshiion
Td
who is summoned to Hundreds Hall, the crumbling mansion that was a symbol of
excellence in the English countryside when Faraday visited the mansion as a child
and his mother worked there as a housemaid. The home is now the living quarters
of Angela Ayres (Charlotte Rampling) and her two children, Caroline (Ruth Wilson)
and Roderick (Will Poulter). Roderick is a veteran of the Royal Air Force but injuries 370
left him badly burned and with a knee injury. While Faraday's treating Roderick's
g mom
crippled leg, savior forws
he finds himself falling for Caroline and fancying himself a www
this aristocratic family fallen on poverty. However, he's not really in love with
Caroline as much as the prospect of gaining ownership of Hundreds Hall by
37.5 marrying her, and when she starts to express desires of her own, he tells her she's
being irrational.
Moronburn
The Little Stranger" is a well-intentioned horror movie; but it's not truly one
until about two-thirds of the way through its running time. Up until then it's a
wandering drama and a listless thriller.

11-year-old ban on smoking in public places and 35-year-old law making seatbelts
compulsory are good examples.

their heated seats in dwellings that are usually kept cold, and due to a Japanese
obsession with hygiene and horror of inconveniencing others (some models play
music to hide noises). Other cultures are less stringent. And the toilets are
