This is a horror movie made for a film festival that is all windup without a pitch. IATPTTLITH is something that a student might be forced to watch in film class at a community college.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We watched this movie as it appeared in a NY Times article on under seen horror movies on Netflix. It did have atmosphere but after 87 minutes we found ourselves wondering what the actual story was or if there was one.… Expand

Literally, that's 90% of the movie. The camera focuses on her almost all of that time, just staring at a regular bookshelf with her goofy mouth agape in an expression which is maybe supposed to be fear but actually just gives the impression that she is actually incredibly high 100% of the time and is trying to just figure out what regular household objects are. Interspersed with snippets of what sound like her reading a 2ng grader's attempt at writing a spoooooky book. Literally the worst movie I've seen in a decade. Before I watched it I'd sooner believe that ghosts existed than a movie this excruciatingly pointless existed.… Expand

I never review movies, but this time I just had to. I am here to warn everyone to avoid this pretentious, **** pathetic excuse for a film and to hopefully save you 87 minutes of your life. This is a glorified exercise of art(sy) directionI never review movies, but this time I just had to. I am here to warn everyone to avoid this pretentious, **** pathetic excuse for a film and to hopefully save you 87 minutes of your life. This is a glorified exercise of art(sy) direction passed for a film. Nothing ever happens. There is no suspance, there is no dread, anticipation, tension, thrill, no scare, no meaning behind the scenes. You are stuck for over a hour listening to slowly spoken minutiae going absolutely nowhere, a nevrotic lead verbousely talking to herself, seemingly overwhelmed by every tiny bit of mundane occurance which by the way make up for no less than 95% of the movie. This is not a movie, and certainly not an horror. STAY AWAY AND WARN ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND BELOVED ONES.… Expand

A slow burn of a movie that never catches fire. The reason she doesn't turn 29 is because the movie moves so f-ing slowly..

This, Netflix users, is why you can not judge movies based on their cover photo. While intriguing, an hour into the film I was sure the last half hour was going to finally be where it started to pick up, but. It. Never. Does!!

The story has atmosphere and for awhile you'll watch this movie simply out of pure curiosity. Unfortunately the pacing is so slow, it quickly becomes tedious watching this movie.
