The Nesting
A New York writer of gothic fiction finds her mansion full of ghosts from a brothel massacre.
Why it matters
A moody, gothic-tinged supernatural haunt that channels haunted house tropes through an ‘80s indie lens.
- Early ‘80s indie horror with a brothel massacre backstory adds a grim, underexplored edge to the ghost story formula.
- Atmospheric mansion setting drenched in shadows and period detail fuels the slow-burn creep factor.
- Lead performance veers into melodrama, which some will find campy, others oddly compelling in its intensity.
- Fans of haunted house dramas seeking something off the beaten path will appreciate its low-key dread despite pacing issues.
