![]() Soon we discover that George is not what he seems as we learn about his past and his lies, which have dire consequences on his family. However, things begin to unravel, with Catherine experiencing supernatural occurrences in her home that George refuses to believe, while he enters into an affair with local girl Willis (Natalia Dyer). She befriends local brothers and handymen Eddie (Alex Neustaedter) and Cole (Jack Gore) and also wins over George’s colleague Justine (Rhea Seehorn). George initially excels at his job, even winning over his department head Floyd (F Murray Abraham) while Catherine feels progressively isolated and lonely. George reveals he’s been offered a job teaching at a college in Saginaw, and despite Catherine’s reluctance and reservations, whisks his family to a new home in a farmhouse. The story then jumps back to the year before, where we see George, Franny and his wife Catherine (Amanda Seyfried) in an apartment in New York hosting a party for Franny’s birthday. He rushes upstairs, grabs his daughter Franny and runs across a field with her in his arms. The film starts at the end, as we see George Claire (James Norton) arrive home at the family farm to blood dripping into his garage from the room above. ![]() While it sounds interesting, sadly this eclectic mix of themes and genres makes for nothing more than a rather confusing watch. It’s part gothic horror, part supernatural drama, part thriller, with a bit of art history and religious iconography thrown in. Things Heard and Seen is a 2021 Netflix original released at the end of April. ![]()
