Catherine Clare (Academy Award®-nominee Amanda Seyfried) reluctantly trades life in 1980s Manhattan for a remote home in the tiny hamlet of Chosen, New York, after her husband George (James Norton) lands a job teaching art history at a small Hudson Valley college. Even as she does her best to transform the old dairy farm into a place where young daughter Franny will be happy, Catherine increasingly finds herself isolated and alone. She soon comes to sense a sinister darkness lurking both in the walls of the ramshackle property-and in her marriage to George.

Critics Consensus

The terrors in Things Heard & Seen are overwhelmed by a banal and uninspired adaptation that fails to connect to its haunting source material.

Audience Says

Its strong cast and solid start might make Things Heard & Seen two-thirds of a good movie; unfortunately, that final third sends the whole thing totally off the rails.

Newsday

It's all crushingly predictable, advancing along the expected lines without even the slightest hint of something extra or new.

Rated: 1/4

Well-cast and often entertaining but campy and sometimes obvious.

"Please stop with the ghost stuff," a character asks in Netflix misfire Things Heard & Seen, a request the film is conflicted about.

Film Focus Online

Viewer discretion is advised for lack of scares, a painfully slow pace, surface level discussions and most importantly, abusive men.

Keith & the Movies

The movie advertised itself as an old-fashioned haunted house tale (check out the trailer to see what I mean). In reality it’s a fraught marriage story full of dark secrets and ugly revelations.

Rated: 3/5

I accidentally watched this movie twice. For the first two thirds, the movie is decent enough, although clearly forgettable. When I got to that last third and I remembered having watched this movie before, I just started laughing at myself for having wasted over an hour of my life watching this terrible movie, AGAIN!

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Amanda Seyfriend is fantastic as usual, the story unfortunately is very much unoriginal. I kept seeing Amityville Horror, and The Shinning. Even with that, the curiosity of the history of the house, seeing it through Seyfried's characters eyes.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

Oh it starts strong builds tension then it just goes into the mud and just stops. Like so many of these movies the just cannot figure out how to end the movie. Went from a fine 4 star movie to barely 2 stars.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars
