Neat architecture horror, time loop except not quite loop thingie. I loved the prose and the symbolism produced, despite the brevity. I liked how they introduced the odd architecture of the house, it felt pretty natural and smooth to the narrative. I never saw the movie so I cannot say how it holds up against a different medium.

A screenwriter with a rocky marriage takes his wife and daughter to a haunted vacation home. It's all pretty interesting, but I'm discovering that my attempts to go into books cold is leading to me reading stuff (horror) that I typically wouldn't.
