Reviews from Letterboxd

1. CinemaBabe – ★★★★☆
   “Easily Flanagan’s most stylish work. It’s Succession meets Poe in the best way possible. Dark, bitter, and poetic.”

2. mattlynch – ★★★½☆
   “Absolutely off its rocker, in the most delightful way. Like Succession with ultraviolence and ghost women. Flanagan cooked.”

3. skolarsystem – ★★★☆☆
   “An ambitious and macabre reinterpretation of Poe. Sometimes overwritten, but undeniably entertaining and visually lavish.”

4. HBK – ★★★★☆
   “Feels like the Marvel version of The Haunting of Hill House with Poe references layered throughout. Works surprisingly well.”

5. Brat – ★★★★½
   “Flanagan strikes again! Carla Gugino is phenomenal. Gothic, bloody, and rich with existential dread.”
