Over hyped and frustrating

Rating: 5/10 (9 December 2018)

There was a lot of hype around this movie, and I was very much looking forward to watching it. I did enjoy it, it is a slow burner, which is fine, but there is so much that is left unexplained I found it frustrating. The mother seems to make a living building model houses, and has some deadline coming up, but this is never expanded on. The daughter is great in this, very off kilter and suitably odd. I maybe a bit thick, but it almost seems like the writers changed their minds about where the story was going half way through. It appeared to be going down a haunting, possession path, then in the last section blindsides you with the black magic thread. I am still wondering if the daughters death so early in the movie had anything at all to do with the story line, apart from the fact they could then seance her. And the ending looked like they had driven into a cul-de-sac and had nowhere to go.
