    Written and directed by Robert Eggers' brothers, with Brandy playing the lead, in an A24 psychological horror film? Sounds interesting on paper, and the trailer seems interesting too.

So, I'm cautiously optimistic on this one, I guess.

      Man, I really want to like Eggers' stuff, but aside from The Witch it just doesn't click for me. The Lighthouse just seemed navel-gaze-y, and The Northman didn't grab me either, but that may have been because I was in a theater with some distracting obnoxious teenagers.
