Directed by Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, ‘Things Heard & Seen’ adapts Elizabeth Brundage's novel ‘All Things Cease to Appear’ into a captivating yet flawed film. The movie boasts impressive performances, particularly from Amanda Seyfried and stunning cinematography. However, its potential is undermined by a slow pace and an unsatisfying ending. Amanda Seyfried shines as Catherine, a young artist struggling in her marriage to George (James Norton), a dishonest and deceitful husband. Their relocation to Chosen uncovers dark secrets, engaging viewers with its mystery and character-driven drama. Unfortunately, the horror elements fall flat, lacking tension and scares. The film's strengths lie in its standout performances, atmospheric cinematography and intriguing mystery. Amanda Seyfried's portrayal of Catherine is particularly noteworthy, bringing depth and nuance to the character. Unfortunately, talented actors like Natalia Dyer, Rhea Seehorn and F. Murray Abraham are underutilized in supporting roles, their potential and abilities wasted in underdeveloped characters. Their presence adds to the film's disappointment, leaving viewers wondering what could have been if their characters were more fleshed out. However, the film is hindered by its slow pace, lack of tension and scares and disappointing conclusion. Despite its promising start, the final act falters, leaving viewers underwhelmed. The disintegration of Catherine's marriage is captivating, but the conclusion fails to deliver. Fans of psychological thrillers and mystery dramas will find ‘Things Heard & Seen’ worth watching, but temper your expectations.
