A large part of the story here is about an old Catholic Church girl's reformatory school, which was run by a priest named Father Martin. The program claims that the site of the reformatory is now haunted by figures of young girls who died and were buried there, and by the spirit of Father Martin who went "insane" while there.

It mentions the "highly mysterious" number of girls who inexplicably became pregnant and a haunting number of babies that were buried in its graveyard...but it decides this all occurred because of paranormal reasons and not the more likely case of an abusive and serial rapist priest.

Apart from that, whenever the host says he sees things he can't explain, the camera is always conveniently on his face, instead of what he should be filming (if it were there). Or the camera mysteriously turned itself off just as.

The local townsfolk do have some very interesting stories to tell, but they can't make up for the bunkum production.

This isn't like your modern sci fi film. There are no explosions, no monsters, just people trying to deal with the bad hand they've been dealt.

It's not slow; it's deliberate. It's not dull; it's contemplative. There's no villain; just time and distance.

It will, alternately, have you sitting on the edge of your seat, then trying to grapple with your morality.

The acting is very, very good and the effects can times be quite dizzying.
