Many scenes in the play are creepy or camp, but hardly terrifying.
Such a merger sounds smart in theory, with the genre doing reliably big business at cinemas and boasting hoards of ready-made fans. Why not produce “M3GAN Live,” or “The Nun” in two acts?
Once we’ve become accustomed to the occasional burst of unexpected noise, the play settles for being merely unsettling.“Grey House” is watered-down Blumhouse with shades of “The Shining.” Max and Henry , a married couple, get into a car accident in the mountains during a blizzard, and seek refuge in a cabin occupied by five creepy kids.
One brash adult, Raleigh , cares for the youngsters, and we assume she must be their mother. The venerable stage and TV star is entertaining as ever, but of course a plaid-clad backwoods weirdo is hardly a stretch for her.
