Tomaz, an ex-soldier, returns from a foreign conflict and finds himself living in strained circumstances. Haunted by his past, he is offered a place to stay in a decaying, claustrophobic house, inhabited by an enigmatic young woman and her dying mother. As he starts to fall for his new companion, Tomaz cannot ignore his suspicion that something insidious might also be living alongside them.

This is one of the worst debuts of any horror director I've seen. The premise is farcical ("mothers" birthing rat/bats as demons), the pacing is slow, the two story elements don't correlate, the execution is weak, and the reveal is a letdown. The only redeeming factors of this tortuous mess is the acting with Alec Secareanu (Tomaz) and Imelda Staunton (Sister Claire).

I liked the plot twists and simple horror. The birthing of the bat was pretty intense even for the avid horror buff. But I liked the film,and would watch it again. As for the directors debut, I think he's on the right track and should keep up the good work. I gave this 3 stars only because I'm a tough critic when it comes to horror.

This movie isn't worth the film stock it's printed on. It's beyond farcical. It's a dismal directorial debut for a director who, I'm assuming, is pursuing a career in the filmmaking profession. Take some good advice, don't waste your money or your time on this stinker.
