    Too much

    I had high hopes when I read about this film, being a fan of Lara Belmont and the supernatural genre. I settled down last week to watch it hoping to be entertained by a good tale and I was. To a point.

    The acting was great and there was a good eerie atmosphere throughout the film.

    Unfortunately I felt the film would have worked better as a 45 minute one off TV drama. I'm sorry to say I just felt there was a lot of time where nothing happened. I also sadly didn't like the films ending..

    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.

    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.

    It's like the Shining.

    This film is like the Shining. I went completely mad watching this and really wanted to grab and axe and chop the living hell out of it. I couild only last thirty minutes of this and in that time there is literally no horror elements to it at all, even some terrible Horror movies I've seen can pull that off, establish the genre within the first ten minutes, this is so bland, i began to wander off in my mind and wonder what circumstances led to this lead actress agreeing to audition for this and accept to commit to the shooting. I felt sorry for her and I zoned out of the second phone call of her and her father whilst stock footage played.
