Recensione di davidm-14

This is one of those weird movies that fits in-between the usual ghost/spirit/supernatural films. I guess you have to be in the right mood to even watch it, because I found myself getting frustrated at certain points. By the end, though, I just enjoyed the ride.

A Chicago couple buys a farm in a small town to get away from the chef job that was taking up too much of the husband's time. It so happens to have a weird field out back that, thanks to the husband's love of photography, they discover harbors a strange secret. One that the town seems to know but aren't terribly forthcoming about. A strange woman lives at the edge of their property and wanders around at all times, seemingly drawn to the same field. The sheriff, in particular, is very protective of her. We get a few hints that people may have disappeared in the field, or some odd sacrifice-y things may have occurred in the past, but, thanks to the photography of the husband, it's possible those people are not quite gone.

Despite nothing ever being really clear, I would stress that I found this to be a great movie, with great acting by some great supporting talent - Veronica Cartwright, Barry Bostwick and Mark Metcalf. It even has a nice, happy ending. Or does it?
