Trailer
Why watch this film?
A production with a dense atmosphere of terror, in which the boundaries between supernatural horrors and personal traumas blur. 'Matriarch' is the story of Laura Birch (Jemima Rooper), a woman who, after almost overdosing, decides to flee from professional pressures and accept her mother's (the frightening Kate Dickie from 'The Witch') invitation to return to her childhood home. However, little by little she discovers that the whole town hides a dark secret that also involves her and her mother. With a theme comparable to 'Macabre Relic', the movie tries to explore the damage of family trauma and, although it does not reach the level of its counterpart, it presents shocking images that will stay in memory for a long time.

The Blackcoat's Daughter
Although it was released after I am the Pretty Thing that Lives in the House, The Blackcoat's Daughter (also known as February) is Longlegs director Oz Perkins' debut feature film, and from here one could already see the marks that would distinguish his later filmography: young women as protagonists of stories as minimalist as their production design, sound work, and camerawork, converging to create atmospheres that disturb through their stillness. In this film, the plot follows three young women (Kiernan Shipka, Lucy Boynton, and Emma Roberts), whose paths intersect in a story of loneliness and violence.

I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House
Osgood Perkins' second film (though the first to be released) is even more minimalist, yet imbued with contemporary gothic overtones. I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House follows a private nurse (Ruth Wilson) who must move into the remote home of a famous writer (Paula Prentiss), suffering from dementia. However, she soon suspects that the house is haunted and that her fate echoes that of the writer's sister who died decades earlier.
The Hallow
A family moves to a remote house in rural Ireland and finds themselves in a fight for survival with an ancient evil living in the secluded woods.
