Film
The Little Stranger (12A)
Lenny Abrahamson (Room) directs this unsettling film, set in a declining country house after the Second World War. Domhnall Gleeson plays country doctor Faraday, who is called to care for the inhabitants - Charlotte Rampling as the matriarch, Ruth Wilson as her daughter, and Will Poulter as the son physically and psychologically damaged by combat. Faraday falls in love with the house and the family, but their maladies are beyond his power to cure: they are haunted by a dying way of life, as well as something far more ominous. Adapted from the novel by Sarah Waters, The Little Stranger is a potent gothic horror.
