The Haunting of Queen Mary creates a horror based historical fiction story inspired by supposedly haunted Queen Mary.
The movie tries its best to be a cohesive story about family and sacrifice by alternating between a struggling low-class family in the past and a modern family in the present, however it lacks the intimacy for the audience to create connections to these characters and as result, their survival.
The movie is visually gorgeous in their interior designs and shots, but the camera direction takes away from what could've been perfect captures.
The plot tried for originality but, it still feels familar to other possession/ghost revenge movies and the pacing of the movie makes it difficult to pay attention to the tiny breadcrumbs that feeds into the plot.
Personally I feel like this movie was trying to mimic "Haunting of Hill House" with a real location of a "haunted" location, however was unable to successfully capture that spirit.
