If you're looking for scares look elsewhere, as this bore will deliver drama not horror.

Rating: 6/10 (25 February 2016)

I came into this film with high expectations. Im not sure why, but i did, i must say i was disappointed.
On the plus side the visual style is fantastic, the acting is great and the "concept" is a good one as well. It builds slowly and does make you think. The dialogue was great and some moments were a bit creepy. The story carries itself more like a drama than like a horror, and the main character does an excellent job at being portrayed as victim/ whatever else it is she is.
My biggest complain comes from the slow build up, it is too slow before we see any actual horror. I am a big believer in psychological scares, no need for gore and actual violence to shock and terrify an audience, however this film did not deliver by slowly dragging itself in a boring slow paced drama masqueraded as a horror.
The film functions more as a period piece, and at times i could not understand the dialogue. the ending was not clear and to be frank i noticed multiple opportunities that could have been used to frighten the viewers but were sorely dismissed.
At times the film is misleading and the lack of clarity is what bothered me most. Its as if the entire film is building up to this dark reveal that ends up a mere shade of pale grey.
The film is good and deserves to be seen, not as a horror but as a drama. If you're looking for scares look elsewhere, if you're a fan of film then you'll enjoy the cinematography and eerie chilly visuals. Thats about it.
Final Grade, C+
