A famous horror writer finds inspiration for her next book after she and her husband take in a young couple.
Where to Watch Shirley
- jackmeatApril 22, 2025My quick rating - 6.3/10. This goes without saying. Elisabeth Moss carries this movie. Such a great actress and everyone around her seems that much better in reaction to her. In this flick, she plays Shirley Jackson whom I knew really nothing about. I also can't say I know much more about her after watching this. But if this story is to be believed, she has an evil sense of humor. A nice little thriller in this as the horror author uses inspiration from young couples she meets and allows them to stay with her family. I can't say much more than that without spoiling the mystery in this one so check it out if you are interested.
