IMDb 4.5

Skip this one. A 4.5 IMDb score is a massive red flag, and there's nothing in the premise—a muddled mystery about a writer and a nervous guy in a mansion—that suggests it's a hidden gem worth discovering. Your time is better spent literally anywhere else tonight.

Plot

A murder mystery writer misreads the nervous man he bullies in a spooky Hollywood mansion.
