Surprisingly good
As a recent subscriber of Disney+ it's now my new favourite streaming service and contains lots of gems. The Secrets of Sulphur Springs being one of them. I pressed Play on the first episode out of curiosity not expecting too much but found myself drawn in and couldn't stop myself from watching one episode after another, helped by the fact they are very short. There's a classic 'family move into old haunted house' style to the film but there's more to it than that and the central premise and how you see events unfold is really well done and although there's an eerie quality to it along with mild suspense, overall it's quite gentle, which I have to say I prefer to the modern trend for portraying/displaying psychological torture and physical abuse. For me the kids all steal the show, especially Topher and the Twins. I liked that they closed off the main storyline in season 1 but left the premise alive and well with a nice little cliffhanger for season 2, which I hope they make. If the adults could match the children I'd have given it a 10! :)
