Notes et avis

This is a slow movie, so don't expect any giant chases or action, but it is riveting, and generates a sense that something is about to happen. It's a great study of relationships between people, and their desire to believe that spirits can communicate with the living. I would have given it 5 stars, but fell like it could have been a little tighter. It is definitely one you'll think about later.

Concept towards the beginning was interesting but then it trickled off towards the middle and end. I felt like they could have expanded in areas that felt untouched. The areas of the story where it felt like they didn't expand, may have been intentional, but I didn't care for it regardless. Sometimes leaving the audience in the dark can be suspenseful and fun, but it needs to be executed well. Simply put, I regret spending the money to rent it.

A slow movie that's not that interesting, has a dumb ending that answers none of its mysteries, and has a main character who makes really dumb decisions. The only reason I gave it two stars was because the acting was really good.
