The Little Stranger

• Rated 0

Academy Award nominee Lenny Abrahamson ("Room") directs a

complex and chilling ghost story. Dr Faraday (Domhnall Gleeson of "Ex

Machina"), the son of a housemaid, has built a life of quiet

respectability as a country doctor. During the long hot summer of

1947, he is called to a patient at Hundreds Hall, where his mother

once worked. The Hall has been home to the Ayres family for more than

two centuries and is now in decline. But Mrs Ayres (Academy Award

nominee Charlotte Rampling) and her two grown children, Caroline

(Golden Globe Award winner Ruth Wilson) and Roddy (Will Poulter of

"The Revenant"), are haunted by something more ominous than a dying

way of life. When he takes on his new patient, Faraday has no idea

how closely, and how terrifyingly, the family's story is about to

become entwined with his own.
