Adapting Elizabeth Brundage’s novel All Things Cease to Appear (a better title), the co-directors craft a surprisingly unusual ghost story that lingers.

It’s more effective as the latter than the former, but by the end these two seemingly separate kinds of movie dovetail in a way that’s surprisingly clever and effective. While the smarmy George teaches at the local college, immediately charming his young female students, Catherine and Franny are left to explore their new home, which comes with a pair of suspicious hired hands and a rather spirited history.īased on that setup, you might guess where Things Heard & Seen is heading, but filmmakers Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini ( American Splendor, HBO’s Succession) are more interested in toying with expectations than succumbing to them. Things Heard & Seen is partly a Gothic horror movie and partly a portrait of a marriage falling apart. Downloads available on all plans except Basic with ads. Opening in the winter of 1980, the film focuses on the upper-class Clare clan: artist Catherine (Seyfried), art-history professor and wannabe painter/novelist George (Norton) and adorable daughter Franny (Ana Sophia Heger), who have moved from Manhattan to the sticks. A young woman discovers that both her husband and their new home harbor sinister secrets after they leave Manhattan for small-town life. Amanda Seyfried and James Norton star in this thriller with Natalia Dyer ('Stranger Things').
Good for audiences, too – at least when it comes to Things Heard & Seen, a marked improvement on her previous horror go-round. Summary: A Manhattan couple moves to a historic hamlet in the Hudson Valley and come to discover that their marriage has a sinister darkness, one that rivals their new home’s history.
