This is a spooky film and the director has done really well with creating tension. There's something quite gothic about it I think, like a traditional ghost story.
The two main actors give good performances, there's not an awful lot of dialogue for them to work with, but they deliver it well. I thought Ruth Wilson was particularly good but really she had to be as she more or less carries the film. The narration throughout the film works well in making it creepier.
It's just very slow and there's not enough happening to fill the almost 90 minutes. Knock half an hour off it and it would improve it hugely but then it wouldn't be a feature length film I guess. If you like a lot of action or sudden frights etc then this is not for you. Although I quite like the ideas behind it I couldn't bring myself to give it more than five stars because my attention was definitely wandering at times.
