This starts slow and never speeds up. Acting is standing on your mark minimum.
I usually don’t mind a good slow burn as long as it’s for a good cause. 57 minutes in and I turned it off. I was able to stay engaged and nothing really happened the whole time.
Go past the first 15 minutes
Slow burn spooky. Not hard to follow, interesting take on Ghosts/Zombies/Afterlife. Check this out if your boo ever tried to stop you from bringing your daughter back 🌄
beautifully atmospheric with dreamlike lighting. a perfect example of the lost art of early 2000s j-horror
