It took me 6 days to watch because I kept falling asleep

So I initially put this movie on because I saw a trailer and it looked like a good period piece horror movie. However, upon watching this film, I realized it was just a dull period piece about a man obsessed with a house. And not just a house, the idea of being a rich man it seems. He grows up as a poor boy, and makes a trip with his family to this big mansion. He becomes enchanted and obsessed with the house and the pomp and pageantry that goes along with it. It seriously took me a span of 6 days to watch this movie because it is THAT BORING. I never fall asleep during movies, but this one knocked me out. I'm still not even sure what exactly happened in this movie to be honest. Did he kill Suki? Did he kill Mrs Aryes? Did he kill Miss Aryes? It shows him as a little boy at the very end looking over the banister so I suppose he gets rid of everyone so he can own the house himself? I suppose him as a little boy is just a metaphor for his little by obsession with the house, however I was left very confused. For those looking for a good horror movie, this isn't it. This movie is just a strange psychological piece on how hypocritical and obsessive this doctor is. Still left scratching my head and wondering why I even watched this to begin with.
