In September Says, home is where the horror is. Although the film is set in present-day England and Ireland, it's a good old-fashioned Gothic fairytale at its core that pays homage to The Haunting of Hill House author Shirley Jackson in more ways than one.
Based on the novel Sisters by Daisy Johnson, the movie is the directorial debut of Ariane Labed. She's best known for her work as an actor, appearing in her husband Yorgos Lanthimos' movies The Lobster and Alps, along with titles like Assassin's Creed, alongside Michael Fassbender, and Mary Magdalene, opposite Rooney Mara and Joaquin Phoenix.
