This story had all the makings of a great spooky mystery. Unfortunately, it did not deliver. It starts with very mysterious theories and possibilities. Then, nothing. It's like going to a steak house and eating a salad with tofu. That's it, it's anemic. It never really tells you why the ghost is there, nor does the ghost appear much. It needs more interaction between the supernatural and the living. It needs a solution and a reckoning with what happened to the couple that disappeared. In other words, it lacks the very basics of any story: who, why, what when, etc. I was really looking forward to this movie because I am so sick of all the stupid slasher flicks. Oh well. Good try.

First reviewed on broth of blogs.This movie about a nurse Lily (Ruth Wilson) who comes to take care of an old author, Iris Blum, living alone in a remote house. Iris is almost senile and speaks to Lily only referring to her as Polly. Lily finds out that Polly was Iris's most famous character and she attempts reading one of the books that Iris has written. And something happens. The story is simple enough but is still cryptic. I didn't get a few parts but I don't think I care. It is about the forgotten lives in the house. The movie is poetic (literally) and I quite enjoyed it. Characterization and Acting (C&A) Characterization was done well, I would have probably liked some exposition but I think this movie is supposed to be puzzling. Ruth Wilson plays the part to perfection - scared, vulnerable and alone. She really looks like she is going to have a heart attack anytime. Its totally her show as she probably has 80 minutes screen time of 90 minutes of the movie. Sounds and Effects (S&E) The background of this movie is just mind blowing. It is the scariest I have heard till date. Has this weird ability to spook you as well even if nothing scary is happening. Full points here. There weren't any jump scares and it is all left to your imagination at the end. Cinematography and Visuals (C&V) Like I said the movie is poetic. It is slow, there isn't much of a story but it moves you and creeps you out. They didn't overdo the actual horror which works in the movie's favor. The lighting was great and the setting itself eerie. Great stuff. Direction and Overall (D &O) Overall, the movie looked and sounded great. The acting was really good I thought. Only complaint I have is that maybe it could have had a little more exposition to actually understand some stuff which wasn't clear. So here are my scores: Plot and Script (P&S)- 1 Characterization and Acting (C&A) – 1 Sounds and Effects (S&E) – 2.0 Cinematography and Visuals (C&V) – 1.5 Direction and Overall (D &O) – 1 Overall Score – 6.5 out of 10 Good watch for Halloween 2016! Just be patient, the movie is not as long as its title!!

I was sure this was going to be a bad movie, but at the beginning it got me. I thought, hmmm, the direction is not so bad, it seems different, maybe this will not be the typical screamer. And it wasn't. It was far worse. I think the director desperately tried to deliver something he thought was art. It was not. Everything went on for ages. The protagonist kept doing things really reaaaaaaaly slow, oh my God slow!! I mean, who takes one minute to grab a piece of paper that is 10cm away??? Except for two times, literally nothing was going on. Nothing. Funny thing is, that it actually contain some realism (well, realism in case you believe in ghosts) because it depicted a ghost that is not interested in being the boogeyman, turning lights on and off, opening cupboards, creating all sorts of stupid inconveniences. I mean, if ghosts were real, why would they do that? This ghost mostly didn't. She just wanted to share her story I guess. And the nurse died because she was scared to death, which is pretty logical if you ask me. We never learn why the ghost had been killed. Which was a bummer. At least let us know why the hell all this happened. But no, because it's "art". It was a bullshit movie.

The acting was subtle and well done, the story was intriguing (if its potential was never fully met), and the near silent tone of the movie was a strength more than a drawback. There will be unanswered questions, and that annoys a lot of people. If you are like me and prefer to leave with questions, you will appreciate this flick more. I don't think the criticism calling it boring it fair. A lot is going on in the background if you pay attention. It reminds me of Victorian ghost stories. Not everything has to be extreme to be worth viewing. All in all it has its problems, but worth watching if you don't mind a slow build.
