Had some very good cinematography and cool visual-horror moments, some very clever ideas too, but I did find it a bit tropey at times (especially the jumpscares). Could have been made a lot more tense, I think. Western horror directors really could take some notes from Japan on how to do spine-tinlging ghost stories - their movies can make you jump with zero loud noise ques or any sound at all; jumpscares just feel very cheap and tacky and this movie would have worked SO much better with more psychology based horror than just jumps and loud noises. Rose Williams was great.
It was a decent horror flick. I wasnt overly impressed. Will entertain, but there is better. Acting, decent, eddects decent, story predicatble.
Superbly atmospheric and unsettling chiller, perfect for a winter's evening.
Really interessting movie. the tension is well mantain and it keeps you on the edge of scare. its well written and just generally a good horror movie with great production.
seems a bit generic at first but turns kinda bad ass in the back half
