★½

Plot: After murdering his wife, an inventor tries to hide in a mental health facility that has been taken over by its patients.

Review: All it shares with the original film is the fact it's an underwhelming disservice to the gothic tales it claims to adapt.

-----

Story: 1/5 - Truly a mess. It feels like the filmmakers were desperately trying to cram their favorite gothic tales to fit together.

Performances: 3/5 - The actors are fine, but their performances, like everything else, feel derivative.

Cinematography: 3/5 - Some interesting use of shadow and space, especially during the wax museum sequence.

Editing: 2/5

Sets: 3.5/5 - Fairly realistic looking, if sometimes under-furnished.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 3/5

Trigger Warnings:

Mild violence

Domestic abuse and spousal murder

Animal abuse

Ableist portrayal of mentally ill people

Suicide
