Has some problems and could have been much shorter but the film has terrific atmosphere and a different style of horror with great tension.

the ghosts are really well made but the human drama falls a bit short for me, it's still worth watching but it's not great

This should probably be a "meh" but the first hour of this had me scared like no other film has done before

If you’re in the mood to engage in a slow moving, intelligent horror movie you won’t be disappointed with this

Even though Im still not sure what the hell happened in this movie, it's unsettling imagery and haunting sound design left me shaken.

The atmosphere and building tension were great, I quite enjoyed the first half, but it was a bit too slow/long for me to properly appreciate

An original premise overshadowed by unjustifiable length and a tedious second hour
