Its a slowpacing horrorthriller about the ghosts of the past in a brick and concrete building in kiev ukraina.its a house just inherrited by a young american/ukranian women. Not knowing about the house at all, she leaves the safe states of america to explore the fields of her family past.
Its a slowburning story, loads of ''broken english'', its plotted like a psychological horror thriller, and the technical production is of high level, especially the filmography, and experimental film angling. But it suffers from the ''dark filming nsyndrome'', where what lurks in the dark just stays in the dark. A headlight wouldve given the viewer a far better opportunity to explore the premises with the woman instead of a candlelight worthy cellphone light, that the woman use in her exploration.
Acting is at average, and no more than direction and script allows, not much improvisation or spontanious acting, rather stern and with the complete absence of romantics nor comedy. Jumpscares doesnt appear at all, just that tense sound throughout the whole story. I will award a 6 for a good technically made film, nice choice of location,and nice production management. The already halfzheimered grumpy old man wont remember this film too long, so run for it while its still out there.
