"Haunted-house horror as depression metaphor, played for laughs"
A writer with a history of depression moves her family into a rambling old house, only to suspect she's being haunted by the ghost of a woman who died there decades earlier.

The tone swings between absurd and genuinely melancholy, which makes it feel uneven but distinctive.
