I had trouble getting through this because it didn't hold my interest. It was like all atmosphere and no story. Or if there was a story, I didn't get it. The atmosphere reminded me of old time ghost stories, like WUTHERING HEIGHTS by Emily Brontë or THE TURN OF THE SCREW by Henry James. Lots of poetic soliloquy. Someone wrote a review saying "If Emily Dickinson wrote a movie, this would be it."

I don't want to say it is terrible because it is not. It's like the director deliberately tried to recreate the gothic horror feeling of 19th century ghost stories. In that sense, it succeeds. But the problem is horror audiences have changed in the past 100+ years. We need more than... "And then she saw.... THE GHOST! Boo!"
