Genuine scary movie

Rating: 9/10 (8 September 2019)

The first movie since I was a child that actually scared me. This movie produces constant dread with a few shout out loud surprise scares. (I did not scream. A lawyer in his 70's does not scream. Those were high pitched shouts.) Ethan Hawk, who does a good job with any part he takes, plays the washed up author who had one best seller too long ago. Desperate to repeat success, he moves his family into a house to write a book about the prior residents who would up handing around the tree in the back yard (literally). The movie gets spookier as he gets pulled in to the evil. The scariest horror movie in a long time.
