    Nice to fall asleep too

    Totally boring. I know some reviewers state people these days are always wanting instant gratification when it comes to horror. They then go on to defend this movie as if they are somehow more sophisticated. I'm all for a good atmospheric slow burn but this totally boring. Endless piano in the back ground, TV and radio playing in the background watching the main character fall asleep not to mention endless landscapes. It is as if they are trying to calm you down ready for bed.

    The building of atmosphere is about setting a scene making you feel on edge but here it is the whole movie.

    Honestly I'd say give it a miss. I grow increasingly frustrated at the amount of amateurish or low budget dross that appear on Amazon. Sometimes you get a diamond in the rough but this is not it.

    Hate, hate, hate loud piano music.

    I read reviews about this movie and it sounded interesting, a mix of drama and supernatural, something I used to like about British movies when I was a lot younger. First there was the radio drama, playing loudly during a car ride to where she was staying. Why? I'm guessing to cover up the very loud piano music that did not cese playing after. I got the part of "and a happy new year" which played over and over. Why? I do not care if a movie will eventually end up being great, I care about my sanity having to here someone playing bad Chistmas music that has zero to do with anything. Made it to 12 minutes and 22 seconds. Not the first movie with some ego maniac playing loud piano music, is that an insane new movie genre?

    Boring

    Honestly it was boring, and slow moving. There was hardly any dialogue, and instead there was a lot of silence filled with radio chatter, or the TV in the background.

    I think it tried to build up an atmosphere, but because it didn't really seem to focus on anything else it fell flat. The parts with the ghost weren't even scary, they were just there.

    the key word is ominous...

    In britain every house older than one generation more or less has some kind of ghost attached to it, the brits are good at that, why so happens is still a mystery, as the mystery we follow in this slow burning ,very small casted called winifreed meeks.

    Its a sexually betrayed woman author, that needs a change of space to get harmsway by her beloved one, to try to write and finish a book asap according to her publisher. Dad takes the job as a house seeker, and comes to find a house near the coast i guess southeastshores of england..the woman do get her writing done, but do sense that there are some omnity in the premises. She starts searching local sources , libraries and the web to find the prehistory of the house..

    its a slowburning one womans show, not particularly scary, and the storyline must be some of the easiest every foreign interprette job ever done, the acting is realistic, non panicking british, the film hold itself at boyancy do to good, but not overly great filmography. And ominous sound and music follows you all the time as an ambient poltergeist, the locations and the house she lives in is just amazing, seems like a large bed and breakfast hired at a low cost due to pandemic lockdown, 7 or 8 bedrooms there is for sure.

    So its a ghost film, is it a friendly ghost i wont tell, just let yourself into the tale, though without the grumpy old mans recommendations. Recommendations.

    Glacially slow production with zero to interest anyone

    Almost no plot in this film and what there was of a plot was spun out at a glacially slow pace. Indescribably and cripplingly dull.

    The absence of plot is inhabited by characters who, if not almost as tedious, are of zero interest. The viewer is given nothing and no one to care about and merely waits - in vain- to see if anything of interest will happen. It doesn't.

    The photographic production and ambience of the film is quite good - if only the crew had been given a decent story to work with.

    A shame that everyone involved in this production wasted their opportunity to create something of merit.
