The older sister, Constance ( Alexandra Daddario), is initially tried for the crime and then acquitted, but the public still believes she’s guilty. It was the writer’s final work before her death, and tells the story of a family consisting of two sisters and their uncle, who are ostracized by their village after the girls’ parents are killed by arsenic poisoning.

The 2018 film, directed by Stacie Passon, is based on the 1962 novel of the same name by Shirley Jackson. It appears that classic mystery literature makes for really great psychological thrillers on-screen, and We Have Always Lived in the Castle is another example of that. Runtime: 1 hr 38 min | Director: Stacie PassonĬast: Alexandra Daddario, Taissa Farmiga, Crispin Glover, Sebastian Stan That said, it features John Goodman in a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo as a nameless beat cop who gets turbo-murdered by the CHUDs, so honestly, I don’t know why you’re not already watching it. But it’s also a little slow and occasionally gets so bogged down by its own plot that it forgets to deliver what we all came here to see, which is a bunch of people getting eaten by subterranean frog mutants. It has some gnarly practical effects and a few truly great horror shots, including one particular standout in which Daniel Stern (yes, he is in this film) discovers the CHUDs worshiping at an altar of nuclear goo.

Taking place firmly in mid-80s New York City, the film is about a group of unhoused people living in the sewer who get horribly mutated into reptilian monsters by toxic waste, and who crawl aboveground at night to hunt for delicious citizens (and their dogs). (Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers) is one of those cult movies that doesn’t quite live up to the potential of its title but makes a fairly entertaining go of it.
