Three generations of regret, fear, curiosity, and betrayal slowly build into a thick sense of dread. (A note to the squeamish: No need to worry, I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House has almost no gore in it.) Click here to watch. Unlike Step Brothers, Step Sisters isn’t about actual step-siblings. Rather, it’s about a group of white sorority sisters who learn to step dance, and one girl’s dream to attend Harvard Law School.
